Beschrijving
Khor Rori (or Khawr Rawrī) is an estuary at the mouth of Wadi Darbat in the Dhofar region, near Taqah. Khor Rori is famous for the ruins of the ancient fortified port city of Sumhuram, but under birders it is famous because it is a major breeding ground for birds. If you continue past the ruins towards the edges of the estuary you can observe birds like Flamingo, Lepelaar, Zwarte Ibis, Steltkluut, Poelruiter, Hemprichs Meeuw, Dunbekmeeuw, Strandplevier, Grutto, Temmincks Strandloper, Groenpootruiter, Bosruiter, Lachstern, Reuzenstern, Witwangstern, Westelijke Rifreiger, Ralreiger and Visarend.
