Yes – although things were not takes for granted as the place is full of traps, escape passages and place were one could do nasty things to anyone inside unannounced!!
The builders knew exactly what they were doing when this fort was built – first constructed during the transition between siege war and outright destruction with cannon.
Even so, it is quite luxurious inside, for its time.
I was !
I think the two guys on the gate thought I was a little crazy …… as it was a very hot day. But it is one of the best forts (has a good feeling about it – if you know what I mean) so a good morning out.
They maybe decorative but – once closed………

There are so many fabulous doors in Oman! These are beautiful.
Oman is renowned for its doors of all shapes and sizes, although modernity & cheap construction is slowly taking over sadly.

Amazing set of doors. These forts must have been easy to defend with such thick walls and immense doors.
