The ruins of the medieval port of Zafar, part of the UNESCO Land of Frankincense site. Paths and a lagoon boardwalk run between the old mosque, citadel and walls.

Two halls inside the park: a History Hall on Oman from ancient times, and a Maritime Hall with traditional boats and the story of the sea trade.

A walled incense port founded more than 2,000 years ago above a calm lagoon, part of the UNESCO site. A large development plan for the park was signed in 2026.

A protected valley of wild frankincense trees on the road north, also part of the UNESCO site. Look, but do not cut the bark.

A restored 19th-century castle with a prison, reception hall, guard rooms and the wali’s family quarters upstairs.

A two-storey castle with two towers overlooking Mirbat’s old port and market, with a small exhibition and sea views.

Carved wooden windows and doors on old merchant houses near the harbour; many are fragile, so admire them from the street.

The royal palace on the Haffa seafront. It is not open to visitors, but the walls and gardens frame the walk to the souq.
