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. Arrange your visit to Bahla Fort and discover more family-friendly attractions in Nizwa using our Nizwa road trip tool.

  • 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.
  • Should be one of the top list to visit in Oman. Well maintained with very affordable entrance fee. But the tourist is far below expected. It’s is one of the unesco world heritage sites , try not to miss if you are visiting Oman
