Step back in time at Khor Rori, the site of the ancient fortified port city of Sumhuram, a key part of Oman's UNESCO-listed Land of Frankincense. For a small entrance fee, you can wander through the impressive ruins of this once-bustling hub that connected the frankincense trade to the far corners of the ancient world. The setting is breathtaking, perched on a hill where the desert meets a serene lagoon, offering stunning views out to the Arabian Sea. It's a peaceful and evocative place to spend an hour or two, imagining the ships and caravans that once filled this historic landscape.
