Sur is an appealing town on the coast 200km east of Muscat. It is a famous place for building traditional wooden boats, known as Dhows. Once a busy port, the town has a sleepy feel to it nowadays with locals tending to rely more on a nearby gas refinery for work, although on some days, you can still see the dhow-building yard – the last left in operation in Oman – in action. Near the dhow-building yard is Fatah Al Khair, a famous old dhow which stands a monument to the Sur’s past.
