The Al Ayjah Lighthouse: A Symbol of Sur’s Legacy

Standing tall at the entrance to Sur’s picturesque harbor, the Al Ayjah Lighthouse has been guiding sailors and fishermen for decades. Its strategic location atop a hill offers commanding views of the city, the Gulf of Oman, and the tranquil waters that have long shaped Sur’s identity as a thriving maritime hub.

What Makes the Lighthouse Special?

• Historical Significance: Sur was a key center for dhow building and trade, and the lighthouse played a vital role in navigating the Arabian Sea.

• Panoramic Views: From the top, visitors are treated to sweeping vistas of Sur’s charming coastal town, fishing boats, and the sparkling ocean.

The Magic of Sunset at Sur Lighthouse
