Ras Al Hadd

The place today

Ras Al Hadd is the easternmost point of the Arabian Peninsula, where the Gulf of Oman becomes the Arabian Sea. It is best known internationally for its green turtle nesting beaches, which are legally protected.

Cruising notes

• A significant navigational corner, often with an abrupt change in sea state and wind.
• Environmentally protected shoreline: any activity here is constrained by conservation rules.

Position on the coast

• Sur lies approximately 16 nautical miles to the north.
• Al Ashkharah lies approximately 52 nautical miles to the south.
• Distances are indicative great-circle estimates with a routing allowance, not navigational data.

In the proposed network

Deliberately proposed as the most environmentally restrained node in the concept: a small nature-and-sailing destination whose feasibility depends entirely on turtle-nesting protection and environmental assessment.

All network classifications, footprints and roles are preliminary and conceptual. They are planning propositions for study, not approved projects or confirmed government decisions.
