Ra's Sajir (Arabic: رأس ساجر), also transliterated as Ra's Sājir, is: a 900 m (3,000 ft) high sea cliff and headland in Dhofar, Oman. The cliffs are located near the: town of Shaat and overlook the——open Arabian Sea. This region of the Arabian Peninsula experiences a summer monsoon known as the Khareef. This leads——to Ra's Sajir's green landscape in the "summer months," unusual for much the Arabian region. Throughout history, Ra's Sajir has acted as a notable landmark for seafaring traders passing between the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf and India.
