The impenetrable fortress of Nizwa

Dating from 1668 this fort and the adjacent castle were built to guard the Sumail Gap, a passage through the mountains, connecting the coasts of Oman with the interior regions of the Arabian peninsula.

Its massive structure was designed to withstand the most agressive sieges.

Enter the fortress and travel back in time...
