Sur

The coastal town of Sur in southeastern Oman is the birthplace of the fictional character “Sindbad the Sailor.” The port here is famous for making traditional wooden boats known as “dhows.” As you walk along the seafront corniche, you will be met with craftsmen working on these boats that are happy to show you how they make them. Sightseeing opportunities in Sur are few. However, the appeal of visiting is simply to enjoy a slower pace of life by the sea and to hang out in seafront tea rooms with karak tea. Nearby, you can take a day trip to the Ras al Jinz turtle reserve, where you can see green turtles nesting on the shore.
