Sohar

Ancient capital of Oman and birthplace of Sinbad the sailor, Sohar is located on the lush Batinah coast and is 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 its old fashioned charm with a labyrinth of streets and alleyways and at its heart lies a beautiful restored fort, and a magnificent Corniche sweeps the coast.
