This graceful fort, constructed out of mud bricks, identifies itself as the country\u2019s only hilltop fortification. Dating back to 16th century, the fort was mainly built as an impregnable defense base by ancient settlers to fend off invaders. Most of its parts including tower were ruined in a battle between British and locals in 1891. Later on, it served as the residence of ruling family until 1964 and then a prison until 1980s. People now mainly visit this beautifully restored rampart not just to get a slice of the region\u2019s historic past but also to enjoy enthralling views that they get to enjoy from the hilltop, from the majestic Arabian Gulf and Hajjar Mountains to the lush greenery below.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2.
