The fort was constructed by the Nabhani dynasty, rulers of the region at the time, but fell into disrepair throughout the ages, until it was recently extensively restored. Admire the towering fort walls, nestled on a sandstone foundation, explore its nooks and crannies, and enjoy the vista of the surroundings from the hilltop castle.

Dazzling panoramic views around this wide open fort. We were one of only a few tourists on visiting this fort early in the day on a weekday. The surrounding mountain views are just gorgeous.

A UNESCO cultural site, a well preserved location near the ancient capital of Oman. A bit ways from Muscat (around an hour and a half) in combination with Nizwa makes for a nice sightseeing tour.
