Tentang
Fakta cepat: Bertengger di atas singkapan berbatu yang menghadap Teluk Oman, benteng ini awalnya dibangun oleh Portugis pada tahun 1580-an untuk melindungi pelabuhan Muscat. Menara pengawas kembarnya dan posisi tebing yang dramatis dulunya menampung meriam yang bisa menembakkan tembakan peringatan ke seluruh teluk.
Sorotan: Tidak seperti kebanyakan benteng yang terasa seperti museum berdebu, benteng ini masih memiliki jembatan angkat yang berfungsi dan meriam Portugis asli yang diarahkan ke laut. Naiki tangga sempit ke atap saat matahari terbenam dan saksikan lampu kota menyala di pelabuhan di bawahnya.
Tips orang dalam
- 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.
