Sohar

Ancient capital of Oman and birthplace of Sindbad the sailor, Sohar is located on the lush Batinah coast and lapped by the calm waters of the Gulf of Oman.

A visit to the fish souk is a must for visitors. Early morning and early evening fishermen beach their boats at the market and disgorge their catch.

The town retains itŐs old fashioned charm with a labyrinth of streets and alleyways and at itŐs heart lies a beautiful restored fort, and a magnificent Corniche sweeps the coast.
