Sohar

Sohar is a port city on Oman's northern coast. Facing the Gulf of Oman, the centuries-old Sohar Fort houses a museum exploring the city's cultural and trading past. Sohar Corniche stretches along the waterfront, with a park, restaurants and a fish market. To the west is a camel-racing track. Sohar is also a base for exploring the craggy banks of nearby ravines, including Wadi Al Jizi and Wadi Salahi.
