Khor Rori is a beautiful natural lagoon located in Taqah, Dhofar Governorate, Oman. It stretches about 2.5 kilometers long and is separated from the Arabian Sea by a sandy barrier. Historically, Khor Rori was a thriving ancient port called Sumharam, famous for trading frankincense. The site includes ruins of old buildings, temples, and inscriptions reflecting its rich cultural past. The lagoon is fed by fresh water from the nearby Wadi Darbat, which helps create a unique ecosystem with diverse plants and animals. Today, Khor Rori is a protected nature reserve and a popular spot for tourists exploring Dhofar’s natural and historical heritage.
