OHS is the airport code for Sohar International Airport, serving Sohar, a historic port city on the Batinah coast in the north of Oman, between the capital, Muscat, and the United Arab Emirates border. Sohar is an ancient city, once one of the greatest ports of the Arab and Islamic world, and is traditionally celebrated as the birthplace of the legendary Sindbad the Sailor, the seafaring hero of the Arabian Nights. Today it combines this rich heritage with a major modern port and industrial zone, one of the largest in the region. Its landmark is the whitewashed Sohar Fort, overlooking the sea, with a museum of the city's long history. The surrounding Batinah coast is a fertile plain of date palms and beaches, backed by the Hajar Mountains. Sohar is reached by flights into its airport and by the coastal highway from Muscat. The climate is hot and dry, with very hot, humid summers.
