Sur is an old harbor town, nestled along the Gulf of Oman in the Northeast corner of the country. It's small and laid back, a classic seaside settlement of old ship yards and lagoons. The oldest part of town is the most picturesque, complete with harbor views and a lighthouse.
The old harbor. The suspension bridge is a recent addition in ever-growing Oman.
Another view of the harbor, the lighthouse directing traffic. A typical old house in the Ayjah neighborhood, near the lighthouse.
A few of the next generation of Ayjah.
A surprising number of goats were wandering around. Fortified kid.
More old houses, with fantastic seaside views. Ahh, the Gulf life...
