The city of Sur is one of the ancient Omani cities. It is a city that has played a prominent and distinguished role in maritime commercial activity across the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea and the Sea of Oman, forming a business and cultural bridge between the Arabian Peninsula, India, South East Asia and Africa. Sur Port is amongst the oldest ports, where traditional sailing vessels are still built today. It is the most easterly city in Arabia and the first one to witness sunrise in this part of the world. This wilaya has a number of famous ancient monuments, including Bilad Sur Castle, As Sinaysilah Castle, Al `Ayjah Castle, Fanar Ras Al Meel and Ras Al Hadd Castle. It also has a number of valleys, the most prominent being Wadi Shab and Wadi Tiwi, in addition to Ras Al Hadd where the Turtle Sanctuary at Ras Al Jinz lies. There are rapidly developing modern amenities which will satisfy all of your needs and in addition to this, the cost of living in comparison to Muscat is far more reasonable. Famous for cuisine there are many amazing restaurants where local dishes and stunning fresh seafood is served. This is all whilst enjoying an outdoor experience and the atmosphere of warm Arabian evenings. Shopping is another area where there has been rapid recent development. Recently a huge modern shopping mall and other supermarkets have opened with every need accounted for.

It is our aim to provide a work environment for our staff and students, which is constantly evolving for the better, embracing all diversities and moulding into an organization that celebrates quality, creativity and passion.
