Yesterday we went to Nakhal Castle/Fort. It is one of the largest preseved castles in Oman and very impressive. The number of defensive measures built into the fort were many and varied. It included rifle slots, cannon positions and slots above doors where boiling oil or honey could be poured on attackers near the doors.
The views were also spectacular.
Check out the women's symbol on the door of the loo.
The blokes door had a similarly traditional pic of a bloke in a dish dash with a dagger (khanjar) on his belt.
The whole structure is built on and around the rock which gives it its strategic value.
