SUR | Silversea

In centuries past, Arab wooden vessels dominated the trade routes of the Indian Ocean. Many were built and based at Sur, which was a major port from the 6th century. In the 18th and 19th centuries the port often had 150 vessels as Sur continued to be a centre of trade between Oman, East Africa and Asia. Its strategic location at the junction of the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea was a key to the town’s importance. View more

Modern ships and the opening of the Suez Canal reduced the maritime fortunes of the town, although some fishing and pleasure dhows still sail today. Sur’s fortunes are now tied more to the nearby gas processing industry and supporting nearby rural villages. Traditional wooden dhows are still constructed in the shipyard of Sur for local use. Plans don’t exist, as the designs and measurements are all in the shipwright’s head and passed on by word of mouth and experience. Dhows may not be as fast and comfortable as our cruise ship but they have proved an effective and resilient ocean going design. Forts and watchtowers standing around Sur reflect the historic importance of the valuable trading port. The lighthouse dominating the harbour entrance is a converted watch tower. Sunaysilah Fort, with its four towers, is a fine example of Omani defensive structures. Sur itself still embraces old architecture and many traditions are still followed. One is the importance of souqs plying a trade in everything from fish to perfumes, with the unique combination of aromas that results.

Highlights of Sur

Mais informações Fechar

Sur city in Oman is an ideal location in the northeast Province of Sharqiya and is a seafaring town, a fishing village and a trading port all in one. Sur has been an important locus of waterfront and trade since the 19^th century. The port was the fulcrum of commercial and cultural connections between Oman, East Africa and India.

Depart the jetty and arrive at Sur Souq, a massive market that stretches over several city blocks, offering vegetables, spices that are roasted and custom-blened before you, tailors, gold shops and of course a major fish market. Watch the fishermen bring in their early morning catch to the shores or take a walk in the seaside market laden with fish. Get a sense of local life here as residents wander in and out of the other shops and taking tea along these narrow streets.

Proceed from the fish market to the rest of the Sur Souq traditional market, followed by a visit of Sineslah Fort, a major local landmark that offers splendid views of the city. The Fort is comprised of a large, square fortification around a sizeable outdoor courtyard. See the cannons and utensils on display that were in use when the fort was originally open hundreds of years ago.

Continue to the Dhow building yard where to see skilled craftsmen building traditional Dhows (fishing boats). Learn about the building process and the history of these impressive vessels. Return back to Sur jetty after your visit.
