Mirbat is a coastal town in the Dhofar Governorate of the Sultanate of Oman, located in the south of the country on the Arabian Sea coast near the Yemeni border. The city is known for its rich history and unique natural environment, and was an important hub of the ancient frankincense trade route. Surrounded by lush oases and mountainous landscapes, Mirbat has a monsoon-influenced climate with wet and rainy summers, in contrast to the mostly arid regions of Oman.
The local economy has traditionally relied on fishing, agriculture and frankincense production, with a gradual development of eco-tourism in recent years. Mirbat retains traditional mud-brick buildings and forts, such as the Mirbat Castle, reflecting the cultural heritage of southern Oman. The area is also home to wildlife such as the Arabian leopard, attracting nature lovers to explore.
As an important town in the Dhofar Governorate, Mirbat is connected by road to major cities such as Salalah, and its infrastructure continues to improve, but it still maintains a tranquil fishing village feel. Its unique location and historical and cultural values make it a hidden jewel in southern Oman.
