Tour the World Heritage Site of Bahla Fort, a vast mud-brick fortress, built during the 13th and 14th centuries. 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.

This is a must historical journey if you are in Oman .....it is far from muscat but worth the distance / 0.5 OR for entry but make sure to bring water and cover your head. You must be brave to visit it and go up up up using the stairs

What ever you write is not enough to describe its grandeur & space it has. Huge & simple high walls , A UNESCO world heritage site . From the TOP of the fort you can see the City.
