Archaeological of Bahla state
Bahla state is one of the most important archaeological sites in the Sultanate of Oman such as Bahla fort
Bahla Fort is one of four historic fortresses situated at the foot of the Djebel Akhdar highlands in Oman. Its walls and towers were built in adobe in the 13th and 14th centuries.
Bahla Fort, the first site in Oman to figure on the World Heritage List is a landmark in the Bahla oasis. This oasis region owes its prosperity to the Banu Nebhan, the well-known tribe in the area from the 12th to the end of the 15th century. As the World Heritage List note mentions: “The ruins of the immense fort, with its walls and towers of unbaked brick and its stone foundations, is a remarkable example of this type of fortification and attests to the power of the Banu Nebhan.” It must be emphasised that the Bahla Fort is on the List of World Heritage in Danger.
Restoration work on the fort has now been going on for several years. The Mining Museum in Bochum, Germany provided photogrammetric records of the fort to help in the work of restoration. The Omani government has agreed to finance the entire restoration work. When the Bahla Fort is finally restored and thrown open to the public the country will have another superb addition on the list for tourists to visit. Even today, tourists going to Jabrin stop outside the walls of the fort and take pictures of the necropolis.
