Al Hazm Castle

We went to Ar Rustaq Castle but it was closed while restoration took place.
We then moved on to have a look at Al Hazm castle and along the way saw a few more ships of the desert.



When we arrived at Al Hazm, there was a notice on the door notifying more restoration works, so it too was closed. An Omani bloke was wandering by as we clearly looked puzzled by the notice. He stopped to help us and spoke to the blokes inside who decided it would be okay for us to take some pics in the front courtyard. Once inside he took our pic for us. There was an Omani inside dressed in traditional Bedu garb with a rifle on a sling over his shoulder. Tempted as we were, we didn't take his photo.




It looks as if it would be worth a return visit in twelve months time when the renos are complete.
