About The City- Sur 

Sur, a placid coastal town with its striking traditional dwellings is a pleasant place and one of the most important towns in the eastern region of the Sultanate of Oman. Sur is a 335 km drive from Muscat via the interior cuts through wadis (river beds) and passes of the Hajer Mountains. An alternate route shorter by 140 Km along the coast through the village of Quriyyat is adventurous and offers fabulous views of sparkling white beaches covered with multi-coloured shells, deep ravines, cliffs that fall dangerously into azure seas, rocks sculpted by wind and waves and lush green wadis. About 40 km beyond Sur lie the world famous beaches of R'as Al Hadd and R'as Al Jynz, where every year about 30,000 turtles come to lay their eggs.
