QurumNatural ParkSet in the heart of Muscat, Qurum NaturalPark is a well-known attraction in the city, butone which is rarely taken full-advantage of.Although titled as natural this park is actuallya man-made sanctuary, which has donewonders to promote and encourage naturalwildlife and vegetation that now flourishes inan urban area.The park provides a close-at-hand refugefor tired city folk. It’s little wonder why thisEden is close to the heart of many residents inMuscat, with 1,715,449 square meters of lushvegetation, along with a lake and a host ofwildlife living amongst the foliage.
