The Black Magic of Al Qabasah (Bahla, Sultanate of Oman, 2017)

Bahla Fort is one of the oldest and biggest forts in Oman, and the only fort in the country to be inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The fort is massive and includes many towers, mosques, and wells. The oldest part of the fort is called Al Qabasah which is a five-story collection of rooms and was built as early as the year 500 BC. Many Omanis believe that at one point in time, the fort was also a school of black magic or alchemy, which the area is also famous for. My guide Malik didn't seem very much at ease and kept close to the entrance for a quick way out.
