Far and away the most appealing town in Sharqiya, holidays to SUR take you to one of the eastern coast’s prettiest locations. The old part of town sits on what is almost a miniature island surrounded by a tranquil lagoon and offering views of mingled water and land in every direction.
Formerly a bustling port and trading centre, Sur holidays also offer the chance to experience one of the most historic settlements in the south. The maritime traditions live on in the intriguing dhow-building yard, the only surviving one of its kind in Oman. Further reminders of the destination’s illustrious past are visible during your holiday in Sur from the trio of forts and string of watchtowers which encircle the town and harbour.
