Where to Base
Stay near the old town for easy walking access to Sur Fort and the souq. Coastal areas offer hotels with sunset views over the Arabian Sea.
Sur is a historic city on Oman's eastern coast, renowned for its traditional dhow-building yards and ancient fortifications. The city offers a slower pace of life and authentic Arabian heritage. For hotel travelers, Sur serves as a tranquil base for exploring the eastern coastline, visiting nearby wadis, and experiencing local culture away from the busier tourist hubs of Muscat.
