Nizwa Fort

The Nizwa Fort was my favorite fort of the three we saw. It has been restored, but still has a very authentic feel. It is also right next to the Nizwa Souq (open air market).

 These are some of the furnishings they have added to give an example of what kinds of tools would have been in use.


This is the top dome and minaret of the mosque next to the fort and the souq.

Looking down on an older section of the building. I guess some of it was left without restoration to be more authentic.




These are the rafters in one of the rooms.  



The century spots at the top of the main defense tower.  









A portion of unrestored buildings. So cool!
