Guide to Sur

Located in northeast Oman, Sur is the capital city of Ash Sharqiyah Region. Known for building massive wooden ships, Sur is strategically located on the Persian Gulf. Wooden ships were primarily sold to merchants sailing to India, Iraq, China, and Zanzibar. In addition to being utilized as merchant carriers, the ships were extensively used for pearl fishing.

Situated around 93 miles from Muscat, the city is a prominent destination for sailors of Oman. In earlier times, the city played a pivotal role in keeping a spy eye on the Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Oman. By the 6th century, the city was a well established centre for trade with Eastern Africa. Nasir ibn Murshid, an Omani imam, liberated Sur from Portugal, in the 16th century. As an independent territory, Sur witnessed considerable growth in its trade volumes, particularly with Eastern Africa and India. Sur is served by Muscat International Airport located around 141 miles away in Muscat.
