Bahla Fort
Bahla Fort
Bahla Fort is one of the most important cultural-historical forts in Oman and is also part of the UNESCO World Heritage. Bahla Fort, also known as Hisn Tamah, is surrounded by a thirteen-kilometer-long city wall together with the town of Bahla and was estimated to have been built in the 17th century. Its high and imposing walls and towers are an architectural masterpiece and provide every visitor with an impressive backdrop. Together with the three nearby historical forts at the foot of the Djebel Akhdar Highlands, the fortress Hisn Tamah forms a fantastic monument.
Bahla Fort can assert itself as a World Heritage Site
Through an elaborate restoration that utilized traditional methods, Bahla Fort (Hisn Tamah) was able to counteract any revocation of its World Heritage title. The beautiful fortress is now one of the most important cultural monuments in Oman and houses behind its massive walls a beautiful bazaar with an idyllic palm grove. Stairs, decorated gates and walls, and interwoven building parts shape the external appearance of Bahla Fort. Inside the fortress, you can admire impressive arches and high halls. Particularly interesting about Bahla Fort is the fascinating play of light from the sun that falls through the small windows onto the smooth and bright walls of the structure. Therefore, experience the fortress Hisn Tamah ideally in the light of the rising or setting sun. The beautiful impressions will stay with you for a long time.
