Quriyat Beach — Beach in Al Sharqiyah, Oman

About Quriyat Beach

Sandy beach at the coastal town of Quriyat, about 75 km from Muscat. Gateway beach to the scenic Sur coast road. Local fishing boats and a relaxed atmosphere with a working fishing harbour nearby.

Quriyat is the first town on the scenic coastal road from Muscat toward Wadi Shab and Sur. The beach has a genuine working-town feel, far removed from Muscat's more developed waterfronts.
