The ancient city had trade connections through the sea with the Far East, Egypt and Greece.
In close distance there is a town of Mirbat, the ancient capital of Dhofar, which in the 9th century was famous for its market of incense, Arabian horses and slaves.

And after we will continue the trip to the desert and the ancient city of Ubar. In 1992, an American satellite discovered the remains of a city buried under the sands of the Rub al Khali desert ("The Empty Quarter"). Presumably it was the legendary city of Iram, distinguished by imposing pillars and high walls, which was also mentioned in the Quran. The plot has undergone
a deep study by archaeologists who dated the pottery found there and glass vessels around the 100th year BC. It was also found that the city went under the sand because of a "light earthquake."
