Jabrin, 17th-century defensive castle in Bahla, Oman
The three-story castle contains multiple reception halls, meeting spaces, towers, and a central courtyard connecting different functional areas through wooden balconies.
Imam Bel'arab bin Sultan Al Yarubi constructed this castle in 1675 following the successful removal of Portuguese forces from Oman by his father.
The Sun and Moon Hall features intricate ceiling designs and numerous windows, serving as a dedicated space for receiving important guests.
The castle opens from Saturday through Thursday between 9 AM and 4 PM, while Friday hours run from 8 AM to 11 AM with an entry fee of 500 baizas.
The castle includes a date store near the entrance where fruit juice flowed into storage vats, used both for cooking and supporting childbirth procedures.
