Jibreen Castle

Reviewed By Rowzar2020 - Oman, null

Jabreen also spelled Jibreen Castle or Jabrin Castlem is superiority with beauty among all castle in the whole of Oman according to Oman trippers. This historic castle was constructed in the late 17th century and is located in Bahla in the Al Dakhiliyah( same place of Bahla fort -a must for visit) about 175 KM away from MCT. The average time spend to the castle is approx 20- 30 minutes. The castle is open from Saturday to Thursday from 9am to 4pm and on Friday from 8am to 11am. Entry fee is 500 baizas for adults. During our visit ( March and June ) it remains closed .So we had photos outside and the nearby date palm plantation.

Bahla Fort

This site is currently undergoing repairs. Tours are unavailable at this time.

Reviewed By kevins684 - Pontypridd, United Kingdom

Of all the forts visited in Oman, I think Bahla was my favourite. It just looks the part. Finished in mud baked and cracked in the sun embedded with pebbles, gravel, broken pottery, as if it had been there in this state for hundreds of years. It stands proudly on a hill looking over the adjacent properties visible from kilometres away. And it covers a large area with several towers and different buildings to explore on many levels with interconnecting stairways and walkways. There is no information in any of the rooms, neither are they furnished in any way, or, unlike the nearby Jibreen castle, is there an audio guide. But I loved it, it is a real fort from childhood days.

Nizwa Souk

Reviewed By ct93

I am surprised the review for this place are that low,in my opinion Nizwa in general was my favorite place of Oman. I visited the souq after visiting the fort and having mishkak in front of the market carpark, it is not marketed towards tourists hence why i liked it as i wanted to see what the locals buy. on Thursday evening, the busy area was the fish market, we also found our way to the date market, the staff was so friendly to explain the different dates varieties, they also do fresh tahini that they used to dip the dates. it looks like it is also a meetup place, there is a couch on the left side when you enter the shop and the local stop by, eat dates and drink tea, we were invited to sit down and had a very nice time with them, im not sure whether they all know each other or they are just friendly to each other. While walking around the market we were also stopped by locals few time that were drinking tea and they just wanted to share the cup with us, or sometime we just say hi to people chilling and they just give you a cup to drink tea. Make sure you buy the date over there, we only bought few pack thinking that we will easily find another date shop in Muscat but we didnt, all we could find after asking local was the prepack box with dates mainly from Saoudie (apparently december is not the season but the date in Nizwa were from Oman and fresh) - also recommend to buy the fresh tahini. We went back to the market the next day a friday morning to see the livestock trade, it is a must do, it looked like a catwalk for animals!!! only regret is that i didnt buy more date in Nizwa and that because i am from Australia i wasnt sure whether i could bring back the spices and dried fruits. The were also not many tourists hence i guess why they are so so so sooo friendly (compare to Mutrah souq)
