For one of the best views in Sur, you have to make your way to the Al Ayjah Watchtowers. Standing guard over the town and sea entrance, these historic towers offer a stunning panorama of the city's white houses, the lagoon, and the iconic Al Ayjah Bridge. The best time to come is just before sunset, when the light is simply magical. From the nearest car park, it's a short but steep 5-to-10-minute walk to the top, so be sure to wear some sturdy shoes.
