300 km from Muscat, in the picturesque town of Sur, well known for its old fishing village and traditional manufacture of dhows, stands the Sur Plaza Hotel; a comfortable three star plus property offering superlative service with a touch of traditional Omani hospitality. The property is an ideal stop over en route to the Turtle Sanctuary at Ras-al-Jinz, Wadi Bani Khalid and the Wahiba Sands, which are some of the most attractive tourist spots in Oman. The Turtle Sanctuary is a paradise in its own making with cerulean waters and golden sand.
