Al WustaPlaces
Rising about ninety eight metres straight out of the Arabian Sea near Duqm, Hamar Rock is a limestone column that fishermen have long used as a landmark to judge their distance from shore. Six kilometres from Nafoun Beach in Al Wusta, its cliffs host migratory birds of many kinds and the surrounding waters draw humpback whales. Duqm's Special Economic Zone now promotes it to divers and geology enthusiasts drawn to its unusual profile. It remains best appreciated from a boat, since the rock stands alone in open water.
