Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox ancient site

The archaeological site of Shisr is located beside the village of Ash Shiṣr in Dhofar, Oman. It used to an oasis settlement working as an inland trading post, and it has been a part of the UNESCO world heritage site Land of Frankincense since 2000.

It is considered by some to be the legendary lost city of Ubar or Iram, but this is not generally accepted by scholars.[1][2][3] However, it was probably within the land of Ubar, which was a historical region rather than a city, and the collapse of the central spring contributing to the decline of this site might have inspired the legend of the lost city of Ubar.[4]
