🇴🇲 Oman · Al Batinah North Coming soon · no date yet

Sohar,
Sinbad’s city by the sea.

The capital of Al Batinah North on the Sea of Oman, about 230 km from Muscat. We are studying the corniche, the area around the white fort and the old souq, and how to ride through a hot summer — before the first scooter arrives.

Old souq & quartersCandidate

Old souq & quartersالسوق القديم

Sohar’s traditional souq and old quarters near the fort: narrow lanes and many pedestrians, so speed is lowered.

Sohar BeachUnder study

Sohar Beachشاطئ صحار

Sand and shells along the coast south of the corniche — park on the promenade only, never on the sand.

Batinah summer

Four rules for riding in Sohar

The coastal summer is hot and humid, and the city is industrial to the north. The app switches mode automatically in the Sohar branch.

Heat mode

At summer midday we suggest riding in the evening, and cap speed when the battery heats up.

Evening
Souq & fort

Around the old souq and fort gate speed drops to 10 km/h automatically.

10 km/h
Port & free zone

Sohar Port and its industrial area are outside scooter range — fast truck roads.

No-go
The Sinbad quest

Local lore holds Sohar as Sinbad the Sailor’s home: park at the fort, corniche and souq for the «Sohar Sailor» badge.
