Abu Gamys Cape

Off the southeastern coast of Qatar lies Shraoh, a small island surrounded by coral reefs. Its western side rises in rocky ground, while sandy shores provide nesting places for sea turtles. Hawksbills are among the turtles associated with the island, and seabirds also use this remote landfall. The reefs lie in the shallow southern waters of the Persian Gulf, northeast of Khor al-Udeid.
