UNESCO World Heritage Sites

Explore the timeless wonders of Oman through its UNESCO World Heritage Sites, each revealing a chapter of the nation’s extraordinary past.

Follow the Frankincense Trail in Dhofar, where Wadi Dawkah, Al Baleed, Samharam, and the Lost City of Ubar tell the story of Oman’s role in the global spice and incense trade. Travel north to admire the Bahla Fort, one of the oldest and most impressive examples of Islamic architecture in the Arabian Peninsula. Discover the ancient Aflaj irrigation systems, masterpieces of traditional water engineering that still sustain Omani agriculture today. Step even further back in time at Bat, Al-Khutm, and Al-Ayn, where thousands of Bronze Age tombs stand as silent witnesses to one of the oldest civilizations in Arabia.

From desert landscapes to mountain fortresses, these sites embody the deep connection between Oman’s people, its land, and its history — a journey every cultural traveler should experience.
