The Oman Botanic Garden is a new world-class development under the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism in Oman, celebrating the unique plants, landscapes and cultural traditions of Oman. Located just outside of Muscat, Oman, near the Al Khoudh village, the garden will be situated on a 430 hectare protected natural area, surrounded by the Northern Mountains of Oman. The garden is currently under construction and when it opens it will showcase all the native plant species of Oman in a series of carefully created, naturalistic habitats from the dry deserts to the rich monsoon cloud forests. The garden will also showcase the traditionally cultivated crops and the many ways that people use plants in Oman.
