Al Ayjah Watchtower
Najbolje vreme za posetu
Arrive before 5 PM to see the gate closing ceremony, the most impressive moment of the day. Early in the morning there are the fewest people and the best light for photos.
Saveti za budžet
Entry is free, but it is worth having small change for tips for the guards, who are happy to show the inner mechanism. The Sur city visitor card is not valid here.

O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Na zidovima ove kule i dalje su vidljivi tragovi holandskih topovskih kugli iz pomorskih bitaka iz 19. veka. Tri puta dnevno odavde se kontroliše otvaranje i zatvaranje kapija grada Sura koje povezuju stari grad sa okeanom.
Istaknuto: U kuli i dalje radi originalni mehanizam iz 18. veka koji upravlja masivnim gvozdenim kapijama. Uveče, kada sunce zađe nad zalivom Sur, stražari daju znak trubom i kapije se svečano zatvaraju, kao pre 200 godina.
Insajderski saveti
- Once you climb to the top, you will see the entire old town of Sur and the port, worth spending 5 minutes enjoying the view.
- Photograph the gate opening ceremony from the opposite side of the bay, so the shot is most impressive.
- At noon it is especially hot here, so do not forget a head covering and water.
- If you want to see the gate mechanism up close, politely ask the guards, they usually allow it.
