About
The Sur Maritime Museum is a museum in Sur, capital of Ash Sharqiyah South Governorate, Oman, dedicated to the town's seafaring and dhow-building heritage. Sur was long a centre for building traditional wooden vessels such as the sambuk and ghanjah, whose crews once sailed to India, East Africa, Zanzibar and China. The museum's displays trace this maritime trade and the craft of wooden shipbuilding that still shapes the town's identity.
