Capture memorable photos at Taqa Castle and explore the historic Bait Koofan Mansion.
Continue your journey to the ancient site of Khor Rori Creek, home to the ruins of the ancient city of Samhuram, once the capital of Arabia’s thriving frankincense trade.
The archaeological excavations here reveal the city’s ancient trade connections with the Far East and Greece.
Next, visit Mirbat, the ancient capital of Dhofar, which played a significant role in the 9th century for its trade in frankincense, horses, and slaves.

This architectural gem stands as a fine example of medieval craftsmanship.
End your tour with a visit to Mirbat Castle, perched majestically on the beach, where displays of the life and customs of the Jebali people of Dhofar offer an immersive cultural experience.
