Nakhal is home to one of Oman's most picture-perfect forts, dramatically situated atop a small natural rock outcrop.
The origins of the fort probably date back to pre-Islamic times, although the structure was continuously remodelled over the following centuries, including a substantial rebuilding in the mid-seventeenth century, while the present gateway and towers were added in 1834, and the entire structure was comprehensively restored in 1990.
