An Entity of Type: Shoal, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

Khawr Rawrī (Arabic: خور روري) or Khor Rori is a bar-built estuary (or river mouth lagoon) at the mouth of Wādī Darbāt in the Dhofar Governorate, Oman, near Taqah. It is a major breeding ground for birds, and used to act as an important harbour for frankincense trade when it was an open estuary. Khor Rori has been identified as the location of Moscha Limen (Ancient Greek: Μόσχα λιμήν, probably meaning "the harbour of young shoots (μόσχος)" and referring to the possible mangrove vegetation in the past) and Abyssapolis (named after the abyss besides the waterfall of Wādī Darbāt) in ancient Greek literature. The area represents a popular tourist spot within Oman and since 2000, is a part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Land of Frankincense.

  • Khawr Rawrī (Arabic: خور روري) or Khor Rori is a bar-built estuary (or river mouth lagoon) at the mouth of Wādī Darbāt in the Dhofar Governorate, Oman, near Taqah. It is a major breeding ground for birds, and used to act as an important harbour for frankincense trade when it was an open estuary. Khor Rori has been identified as the location of Moscha Limen (Ancient Greek: Μόσχα λιμήν, probably meaning "the harbour of young shoots (μόσχος)" and referring to the possible mangrove vegetation in the past) and Abyssapolis (named after the abyss besides the waterfall of Wādī Darbāt) in ancient Greek literature. The area represents a popular tourist spot within Oman and since 2000, is a part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Land of Frankincense. Khor Rori is best known for the ruins of the ancient fortified port city of Sumhuram on the eastern bank, which was founded in the 3rd century BC as an outpost for the kingdom of Ḥaḍramawt. After the eclipse of Ḥaḍramawt, Sumhuram was under the influence of the Kingdom of Ḥimyar, as indicated by the Himyarite coins excavated from there. It was finally abandoned in the 5th century, most likely due to the formation of the sandbar blocking the estuary. There are also archaeological ruins on the two promontories at the mouth of Khor Rori. The eastern promontory (Inqitat Mirbat) is better explored than the western promontory (Inqitat Taqah). Inqitat Mirbat, also known as Khatiya or al-Ḥamr al-Sharqiya, had been inhabited by the 4th century BC before the emergence of Sumhuram, and its settlement history might date back to the 8th century BC. It was abandoned in the 1st or 2nd century, and re-occupied in the medieval period. (en)
  • Khor Rori (en arabe : خور روري ; Chawr Rawrī ; DIN 31635 Ḫawr Rawrī ; Hadramite S1m(h)rm Sum(h)arum, Sum(h)uram ou équivalent) est un site archéologique d'une l'ancienne ville d'Arabie du Sud, à environ 40 km à l'est de Salalah dans la région du Dhofar, à Oman, à l'embouchure de l'oued Darbat dans une baie abritée de l'océan Indien. Elle peut être identifiée avec le port de Moscha Limen évoqué dans Le Périple de la mer Érythrée (§ 32). Dans les années 1950, Wendell Phillips et William Foxwell Albright entreprennent des fouilles à Khor Rori, reprises en 1997 par une équipe italienne, avec Alessandra Avanzini, et qui se poursuivent. En 1988, Khor Rori a été ajouté à la liste de l'UNESCO du patrimoine mondial. (fr)
