Raisut is a major port city in northern Oman, strategically located along the Gulf of Oman near the Strait of Hormuz, and is one of Oman's main maritime gateways. With Sultan Qaboos Port at its core, the city is one of Oman's largest commercial ports and is responsible for the import and export of large quantities of oil, liquefied natural gas, and goods, which are vital to Oman's foreign trade and economic development. Reisut is not only industrially advanced, but also has a long maritime history, with traditional shipbuilding and fishing still being important industries in the region. In addition, the combination of desert landscapes and coastal scenery around the city attracts some tourists, making it an economically vibrant and culturally attractive city in northern Oman.
Susak Island is a unique island in the Croatian Adriatic Sea, located in the strait between the islands of Krk and Rab, with an area of only 3.8 square kilometers. The island is famous for its world-rare sandstone geological formations, with steep terraces, the highest point of which is 98 meters above sea level, and its red soil landscape contrasting with the turquoise blue water.
The only village on the island, Susak, has preserved its traditions for more than 2,000 years, with fewer than a hundred inhabitants who live from fishing, viticulture and tourism. One of the most unique features is that the women of the island still wear traditional hand-embroidered dresses in bright colors and geometric patterns, which have become part of Croatia's intangible cultural heritage. There are Neolithic remains and archaeological finds from the Roman period on the island.
Visitors can visit the Folklore Museum, St. Mary's Church (built in the 16th century) and explore the island's grape terraces and fig orchards on foot. In the summer, it is possible to participate in traditional fishing and hunting activities and to taste the specialty wine "Susak Bebic". The island is not accessible by car and is connected to the mainland only by ferry, preserving perfectly the untouched tranquility of the Mediterranean.
