Seeb has a number of ancient monuments, but is perhaps distinguished by its modern landmarks situated on the large highway roundabouts, and the Seeb International Airport. The wilayat is famous for its bullfighting, which is a bloodless sport and does not involve injury to the animals.
Spectators assemble at a venue outside the town and form a 'human chain'.
Competitors race two bulls, the sport being umpired by one known as the 'Colonel'. The bull winning the race is feted throughout the wilayat and will often fetch a better price at market. Muttrah is home to Oman's ancient trading port and its modern counterpart, Mina Qaboos. The Muttrah Souq was originally the principal source of many diverse goods transported to the other markets in the country. The crops were harvested to supply the visiting ships and the local population.
