Rusting & abandoned.
During my visits to these abandoned villages, I am always intrigued by the amount of doors I find locked.
There can be nothing left of the building but the door, & it’s locked!
Almost as if the rooms are silently waiting the return of the occupants.

Zikki (Ziki, Izki).
A previously blocked entrance to the abandoned village of Zikki or Ziki or now more commonly know by the name Izki; Historically, the correct name for the abandoned village is Zikki.
This village had a rather chequered history; it seems to have had some involvement in almost every political altercation with the ruler of Muscat or his representatives, for as long as it has existed
