Al Hamra, Oman

Set right at the base of the mountains, this town is notable for a number of Yemeni-style mud-brick buildings, some of which are among the oldest houses in Oman. They are in an older section of the town overlooking the newer town; in recent years many of the older houses have been abandoned as the inhabitants have chosen to move into more modern buildings.

Sohar

Oman
Someday we will visit Sohar or begin to dream about going there! However, for now its not on our radar. Let us know in the comments if you think that should change!

Sohar

Sohar is a city in Northern Oman, 220 km north of Muscat.

As the largest town in the region, it has been argued that Suhar is identified with the ancient town called 'Omanah' (Arabic: عُمَانَة) mentioned by Pliny the Elder in his Natural History. This settlement is believed to have given Oman its name.
