As part of a round trip around Oman, the picturesque seafaring town of Sur is a welcome change from other large cities in the Sultanate. Here we can enjoy a fabulous maritime atmosphere, including from a watchtower. This allows a great view of the idyllic town. Despite its size, life in Sur is leisurely. In the place where the Omanis once traded briskly with East Africa, India and China, you can still feel the old seafaring traditions today. This is also due to the numerous old wooden ships that are anchored both in the port of Sur and in the bay at low tide. The dhow shipyard is a particular highlight. Here, resourceful craftsmen build these boats in the traditional way. The Fatah Al Khair is a special example, an old ship with richly decorated details that can now be viewed as an open-air museum piece in Sur. From this dhow, we then travel to one of my favorite spots in all of Oman: the viewing point at the watchtowers on the rocks of Al Ayjah. After a short climb on foot, you can enjoy picturesque views of the bay, the town of Sur, the neighboring town of Al Ayjah and the foothills of the Al Hajar Mountains in the background. The atmospheric sunset, which briefly covers the lighthouses in bright red colors, is a beautiful end to this day of our Oman tour. Afterwards, the fishermen head out to sea in their small boats to do their work. Of course, always in the Omani-like comfort. #oman #roundtrip #sur #harbor #coast #corniche #sea #beachpromenade #sunset #shipyard #dhow #dhowshipyard #dhow #ship #maritime #sailor #phototouroman #beautyhasanaddress #luxuryvacation #travel #wanderlust #journey #wanderlust #travelfever #individualtravel #travelphotography #orient #travel #onesaximoman HOTELS IN OMAN: Hotels in Muscat:* https://bit.ly/3DLZ6Ar Hotels in Nizwa:* https://bit.ly/47ljqX1 Hotels in Sur:* https://bit.ly/47lV5jP Hotels in the desert:* https://bit.ly/3qr3bXN Hotels worldwide:* https://bit.ly/44YS87j MY WEBSITE: https://www.oman-rundreise.de SOCIAL MEDIA: / rundreisenoman / gobsit OUR AGENCY https://marketing.sh/ https://foto.marketing.sh/ *The links are affiliate links.
