Explore Mutrah Fort in Oman|Experience the grandeur of Oman

Oman, a country full of mystery, has countless fascinating attractions. Mutrah Fort in Muscat is undoubtedly one of the most brilliant gems✨. 👣When you step on this land, it feels like you have traveled through time and returned to ancient times. Mutrah Fort has a long history and is one of the important historical sites of the Sultan's Palace in Muscat. It is located in the old city of Muscat, next to the twin castles (Al Mirani East Fort and Al Jalali West Fort). The castle was first ordered to be built by Sultan bin Ahmed more than 200 years ago🧐. 📸The architectural style of the castle is unique, with blue and gold as the main colors on the front. This bright color combination is particularly eye-catching in Oman's traditional architecture. The huge mushroom-shaped pillars are covered with blue and gold colors, showing a royal style👍. From the seaside, Al Mirani East Fort and Al Jalali West Fort provide perfect surveillance advantages for the palace. Surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on one side, the vast space gives people a sense of grandeur😮. 🧐Walking on the roads inside the castle, you will feel the traces of history everywhere. The palace square is paved with red and gray granite, and most of the surrounding buildings have elegant and magnificent Arabic styles, with gorgeous architectural decorations. The green trees are huge, and the flowers and plants are full of vitality, complementing the ancient buildings, forming a beautiful picture that is pleasing to the eye💕. 📍Climbing to the top of the castle is even more flavorful. Standing at the top, you can take in the city scenery. On one side is the vast sea, with the sea breeze gently blowing on your cheeks, bringing a hint of coolness; on the other side is the city street scene full of Arabian style, with white houses scattered in the sunlight, looking particularly fresh🌊. Especially around 4 pm, while enjoying the sunny day and sunset, feeling the sun gradually setting in the west, and the sky dyed with gorgeous colors; while waiting for the night to fall, the city lights gradually light up, and the entire city of Muscat seems to be given new life, full of vitality🌟. 📌There is also the Muttrah Souq nearby, which is full of Arabian style. Here, you can find local handicrafts, clothing, spices, antiques, and other special products, as if you are in a mysterious Arabian market🛍. 🤗If you plan to travel to Oman, don't miss the Mutrah Fort in Muscat, an excellent viewing spot. It is not only a castle but also a vivid history book, waiting for you to read and feel its unique charm🎉.
