Wilayat Sur Essentials

This list features the UNESCO-listed 13th-century ruins of Qalhat and the Ras Al Jinz reserve, a critical nesting site for green sea turtles. The selection includes defensive architecture such as Al-Sunaysilah and Bilad Sur castles, alongside the natural landscape of Wadi Tiwi and the iconic Al-Ayjah Lighthouse overlooking the Khor al Batar lagoon.
