Built by Imam Sultan bin Saif Al Ya'arubi in 1670 as a strong hold and residence. This is probably the most beautiful of the forts we have visited in Oman, with it's elaborate carvings and decorations.

David met some Omani and Irani men up here, and of course they wanted pictures of Claire.

ReplyDeleteLooks like a beautiful fort, and you got a great family pic! I can't believe you guys are leaving Oman in June - that went way too fast (at least on my end!). Hope you enjoy your last bit of time there!
