Qalhat is an ancient city in the Eastern Province of Oman, about 200 kilometers south of the capital, Muscat, on the coastal plain between the Hajar Mountains and the Gulf of Oman. The historic city was an important hub of the Indian Ocean trade in the Middle Ages, reaching its peak in the 13th and 14th centuries as a key point on the "Spice Route" linking Arabia, India and China. The city's famous Maqam of Bibi Maryam, an outstanding example of 13th century Persian architecture, bears witness to the splendor of Qalghat. Today, this quiet town still retains its traditional Omani architecture, with its winding lanes and ancient houses telling the story of a thousand years of civilization, making it a must-visit destination for exploring Oman's history and culture.
