| PS092 A new building under construction to house Sohar Historical Market. |
The Sohar Historical Market is constructed to resemble the
shape of a bird. According to the design office manager of the Sohar
Development Office, the market will highlight the historical and
commercial value of Sohar, which was known as the land of copper and was
considered a trade centre with Africa, China, Iraq and Iran.
The ground floor will have shops that will sell
traditional products like Omani halwa, herbs, clothes and gold
jewellery while the first floor will house a coffee shop, restaurant, and
an exhibition that will display documents and photographs related to the
history of Sohar.
