Nizwa Fort Building photo copyrighted by: Brian McMorrow Built by Imam Sultan bin Saif al Yaarubi in 1668 AD, the fort's design reflects the
considerable advancement made in the field of military fortifications and mortar-based
warfare during the Yaarubi era.
The traditional doors are inches deep and over the lintel of each is a hole through which
boiling oil could be poured over the marauding enemies.
