The ancient city of Qalhat, or Galhat, is located just over 20 km north of Sur, in the Ash Sharqiyah Region of northeastern Oman. Very little remains of the ancient city of Qalhat, save for the now dome-less mausoleum of Bibi Maryam. The city served as an important stop in the wider Indian Ocean trade network, and was also the second city of the Kingdom of Ormus[1]. Covering more that 60 acres, the ancient city was surrounded by fortified walls that contained houses and shops. Artifacts from as far away as Persia and China were found on-site. Sur (Arabic: ) is a capital city of Ash Sharqiyah Region, northeastern Oman, on the coast of the Gulf of Oman. It is located at around 22°34 0 N 59°31 44 E / 22.566667°N 59.52889°E / 22.566667; 59.52889, and is 93 miles (150 km) southeast of the Omani capital Muscat. By the 6th century, Sur was an established centre for trade with East Africa.
