we need to have fort guides to explain the history of the fort, and a small shop where people can buy water, soft drinks and other needs.

This Fort is well preserved and the hand painted timber ceilings are incredible! We were offered a taste of Qawa (coffee) on arrival and enjoyed this fort

The desert location was amazing - very well restored. It was very, very hot and this was still not the height of summer. A sunshade would have been very useful!

As a LEGO and Minecraft fan, this fort was very inspiring. The fort showed its traps, and there was also such thing as a 'Whisper room', with thick walls and a small window. Very worthwhile. Entree Fee: 500Bzs/person

This is my favourite out of the 3 including Nizwa fort and Nakhal fort. A labyrinth of rooms and passages with a great view of the valley. The nicest restoration (with discreet lighting).

Fascinating view into 17th Century Life in Oman. Just a wonderful castle, much more complex than I thought it would be.

Although the interpretation left something to be desired, the fort was a great place to explore. Some very good ceiling painting. The entry clerk made us coffee and fed us delicious dates from the palms nearby.

Clean well kept - ofcourse restored fort, remote near nizwa. I visited during 2006. I cannot modify the date on the window provided

A bit far away from Muscat but can be tied in with a visit to Al Hamra, Al-Hoota Caves, Nizwa or Jebel Shams for an over night.
