The Rock Garden Duqm is located in Duqm, 550 km from the capital city of Muscat, and is an amazing geological marvel.
Considered to be a natural tourist attraction in Duqm, the park includes limestone and sandstone formations that have been eroded by weather conditions.
The park covers nearly three square kilometers, and was discovered in 2009 by an exploratory mission conducted by the Earth Secrets Company in cooperation with the World Environment Association.
According to scientific and archaeological studies and research, the history of rock formations and statues in the garden dates back millions of years, and this is the reason for its geological importance.
The rock garden is currently a center for attracting visitors and tourists, and the country seeks to invest in tourism and include it in the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites.
