Inside Nizwa Fort: Two Omani Guides Crossing Paths

7/2/2025

Two guides in traditional Omani attire cross paths inside the historic Nizwa Fort, perfectly positioned in the interplay of light and shadows.

Built in 1650 by Imam Sultan Bin Saif Al Yarubi, this fort was a key defense point, with its massive circular tower, secret escape routes, and clever traps to fend off invaders. Today, it’s a window into Oman’s past and a major tourist attraction. From the top, you can see the bustling Nizwa souk and the Al Hajar mountains in the distance.
