Teave
Kiired faktid: Paiknedes kivisel kaljul Omani lahe kohal, ehitasid selle kindluse algselt portugallased 1580. aastatel, et kaitsta Muscati sadamat. Selle kaksikvaatetornid ja dramaatiline kaljuservane asukoht majutasid kunagi kahureid, mis suutsid tulistada hoiatavaid lasku üle kogu lahe.
Esiletõstmised: Erinevalt enamikust kindlustest, mis tunduvad tolmuste muuseumidena, on sellel veel töötav tõstesild ja originaalsed Portugali kahurid suunatud mere poole. Jaluta mööda kitsaid treppe katusele päikeseloojangu ajal ja vaata, kuidas linna tuled süttivad allpool sadama kohal.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes as the stone stairways are steep, uneven, and can be slippery after rain.
- Head to the northeastern tower for the best photo of the fort against the sea and the old city walls below.
- Combine your visit with a walk along the nearby corniche and a stop at the adjacent Al Mirani Fort for a fuller experience.
- Go early on a weekday morning to have the fort nearly to yourself before tour groups arrive around 10 AM.
