The Via Maris, or the Seaway, is the major east-west thoroughfare on the north side of Omrazir. Cut along the edge of a natural terrace in the hillside upon which the city is built, the road runs from the Via Lucis in the west to the Maysa Gate in the east, intersecting along the way with the Via Magna. From there it continues along the shoreline of the bay until it reaches the village of al-Sakhna. Since a large amount of the city's imports and exports come through al-Sakhna and its natural port, the Via Maris is a well traveled route.

Some of the city's most notable landmarks lie along the path of the Via Maris, including the Temple of Storms, the Jumana Bimaristan, and the marvel of engineering that is the Lemnis Span. The Elucidarium, the university and mosque complex where Omrazir's great library is also located, lies only a short ways beyond the intersection of the Via Maris with the Via Lucis.
