Al Fahal

Al Fahal Island is located about 4 kilometers from the mainland of Oman, and has an area of only 2.24 square kilometers. The sea floor, which is composed of the crusts of marine organisms, coral reefs, and algae deposited in a shallow marine environment, then rose to the surface due to the rise and change in sea levels. This island is a haven for Oman's diverse fish and coral species, and it is also a natural marine reserve that requires permits for access or diving.
