Each year tens of thousands of sea turtles migrate to the Arabian Peninsula to lay tens of thousands of eggs. Sur’s reserve plays a significant role in the preservation of this vital, natural habitat. Hatching takes place during the night when turtles emerge from the waters to dig a hole in the sand and lay their eggs in there.
Unfortunately, nothing is guaranteed in the wild, but on most occasions, you can see a couple of turtles even during off-season.
