🎧 Listen to Introduction

The prosperity of the Bahla oasis is attributed to the Banu Nebhan, the dominant tribe in the area from the 12th to the late 15th century. The ruins of this massive fortress, with its walls and towers made of unfired bricks and stone foundations, are typical of this type of fortification and testify to the Banu Nebhan's power.
