Sur Trips & Tours

Oman’s maritime gem. Ready for shipbuilding spectacles and sea turtle soirees?
With the high seas in its veins and the salty breeze in its spirit, Sur sits like an experienced old sailor on the northeastern coastline of Oman. Once a key player in the maritime trade with East Africa and India, Sur still wows with its handcrafted dhow boats, constructed with the same techniques used by their seafaring ancestors. Embark on a journey through time in the Maritime Museum or take a whimsical wander down the corniche, where the aroma of strong Omani coffee wafts through the air from nearby cafes.
