Sur is a major coastal city in the Eastern Province of Oman, situated on the shores of the Gulf of Oman, and has been a hub of navigation and trade in the eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula since ancient times. The city is famous for its millennia-old shipbuilding industry, where the traditional single-hulled wooden sailing ship, the Bukhari, is still being crafted to support the ancient pearl trading network in the Indian Ocean. Strolling through the Old City of Sur, the mottled walls and scattered houses speak of the past, while the Sur Castle and the Pearl Museum vividly illustrate the history of the maritime civilization. Nowadays, Sur is not only an important fishing and port city in Oman, but also attracts tourists from all over the world to explore the beauty of Arabian tradition and modernity by virtue of its unique cultural charm and magnificent coastal scenery.
