Khor Kalba Mangrove Centre is a small nature reserve located on the coast of the Gulf of Oman. It is a peninsula with a small amount of shallow mangrove forest and, in some ways, an untouched natural habitat with diverse flora and fauna. It’s like a little sanctuary.
The park features a museum complex and a café where you can cool off from the heat, admire aquarium wildlife, and learn about the various species that inhabit the area.
The rest of the experience is outdoors. There’s a turtle pool, a pavilion with birds and gazelles running around, a bridge over a canal, and a small walking path through the mangroves. Additionally, several informative signs throughout the area offer insights into the local wildlife.
