Ancient Charm of Mirbat
Ancient Charm of Mirbat
Mirbat is a coastal town in the Dhofar region of southwestern Oman.
Centuries ago it was noted for its export of frankincense
to places as far away as China.
In modern times, Mirbat is known for its thriving fishing industry.
An erstwhile frankincense trading post, it is now a bustling fish port where the harvest of the sea come in by the boatload.
In the old part of town, you will see ancient merchant houses built in traditional Yemeni-style mud brick with hand-carved doors and windows.
If you came for the sights and sounds of the sea, the crashing waves at the beachfront and the seabirds perched on rocks are definitely worth the trip.

Mirbat
The former capital of the Dhofar region, Mirbat was an important port when it came to trading frankincense.
Located just a 50-minute drive away from Salalah, you might want to begin your trip at the harbour where wooden fishing boats bring in the day’s catch.
Past the hard-working fishermen who spend more of their lives at sea than on land, is the old town of Mirbat.
Mud brick houses with hand-carved doors and windows built ages ago still stand to this day.
They are a throwback to Mirbat’s past, and a reminder of the simple lives the ancestors of the people of Oman lived.

Im 8. Oman-Vlog stellen wir euch die Gegend rund um Salalah im Süden des Omans vor. Am Strand von Mirbat sind wir auf der Suche nach Delfinen und am Wadi Darbat haben wir einen spektakulären Wasserfall entdeckt.
Der Süden des Omans hat uns nicht enttäuscht. Es gibt dort traumhafte Strände, unzählige Kamele, wunderschöne Wadis, einen beeindruckenden Wasserfall am Wadi Darbat und extrem gastfreundliche Omanis. Wir haben die Zeit dort sehr genossen. Im nächsten Oman Vlog stellen wir euch noch den Mughsail Beach und die Gegend südlich von Salalah vor.
