Sur is a historic city in the Eastern Province of Oman, located on the coast of the Arabian Sea, about 150 kilometers from the capital city of Muscat, and is known for its traditional shipbuilding industry and natural beauty. Once an important trading hub in the Arabian Gulf, the ancient city still retains the ruins of a 16th-century Portuguese castle and an old dockyard, and its inhabitants still practice the art of building dhows (dhows) by hand, a craft that has been inscribed on UNESCO's list of non-heritage sites. Sur is surrounded by Cape Halani, a famous turtle sanctuary that attracts many visitors each year to see the green turtles laying their eggs. The city's blend of tradition and modernity, with ancient mosques in narrow alleyways juxtaposed with modern tourist facilities, makes it an excellent place to experience the maritime culture and history of eastern Oman.
