Jabrin Castle

Our next stop was to be Jabrin Castle, not too far from Nizwa provided you take the correct road. So after we found that road, we found Jabrin and the castle. It originated in 1692 and was restored a few years ago into magnificent order. It was the summer house of the Sultan of the time and was designed to be a fort too. There are rifle slots in the walls and turrets as well as cannon ball stores. They processed dates on the ground floor and the area still has a faint aroma of dates. Pictured is a stairway whose roof is decorated with writing from the Quran and painted designs.

The rooms inside have been restored beautifully.

And the rooftop views were pretty good too.
