Couple enjoying Paris with Eiffel Tower

In the past, Sur was an important center of trade and shipbuilding, but now it is one of Oman’s most lovely places where one can enjoy the craftsmanship of dhows, a beautiful beach, and the peacefulness of the coast.

The ancient harbor of Sur is still a place where one can see the dhow-building craft—a faint292687 but still-lively symbol of Oman’s long maritime history—being done. The Sur Maritime Museum is another place of interest where one can see this history; it exhibits the essentialposition of the city in Oman’s past of sailing.

The coziness of the city characterized by its white houses, the presence of watchtowers, and the existence of coastal forts like Al Ayjah Fort have all contributed to a certain “timeless” feeling in the city, while Corniche is the perfect place for one to take a walk because of its lovely seaside views. Natural wonders are just a short distance from the city; the stunning Wadi Shab and Tiwi with their clear blue pools and waterfalls, and the Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve, where visitors can see the endangered green turtles nesting under the night sky.

Sur with its slow tempo of life, and its history fullness and nature beauty, has become a must-visit place in Oman’s coastal trip. The Sur experience of travelers will range from the one totally authentic to Oman’s coastal character—calm, attractive, and endlessly enchanting—whether it is through its maritime heritage, beach lounging, or wadis trekking.
