An Omani fisherman’s fate changed and made him a millionaire through his rare finding from the shores of Qurayyat.He found a rare thing which was vomiting of a whale floating on the shores of Qurayyat.
Qurayyat is a fishing village that is 83 kilometers wide and located in the direction of southeast towards Muscat. The Whale vomit is worth around one million Omani riyals which are equal to SR 10 million.
The Whale vomit is Ambergris which is like a waxy substance with a soft texture. This substance is discharged from the intestines of the sperm whale which is why this wax-like substance is called whale vomit.
