Ras AL Jinz is the site of an ancient trading post dated to the end of the third millennium BC. Ships trading between the Indian Sub Continent and Arabia called here. There are the excavations of the settlement and an excellent visitor centre and museum which combines historical material and information about the giant turtles who make the adjacent beach a nesting place. The museum contains items from excavations at the site and other ancient areas of Oman.
