MUSCAT : Spanning over 860 square kilometres, the reserve is a sanctuary for various wild animals, including the Arabian gazelle, lynx, mountain fox, and wild cats.
The Arabian ibex, in particular, constitutes a salient feature of the natural heritage of the Sultanate of Oman. In A’Dhahirah Governorate, the Arabian ibex forms the most common view of animals living normally in the wild.
A’Dhahirah Nature Reserve stands apart for its unique location amid the rugged mountainous terrain, which provides a suitable environment for reproduction and growth of the Arabian ibex away from threats.
