Al Ayjah Lighthouse stands on Ras Al Meel, a headland in the Al Ayjah quarter of Sur, overlooking the entrance to Khor Al Batah across the water from the town centre. What began as a simple defensive enclosure with openings for cannon and rifle fire was rebuilt in 1996 by order of Sultan Qaboos to mark National Day, rising into the present three floor lighthouse crowned with a dome in traditional Omani style. Three of its original cannons remain, and the site draws visitors especially at sunset for its views over the harbour and coastline of Sur.
