Jabreen also spelled Jibreen Castle or Jabrin Castlem is superiority with beauty among all castle in the whole of Oman according to Oman trippers. This historic castle was constructed in the late 17th century and is located in Bahla in the Al Dakhiliyah( same place of Bahla fort -a must for visit) about 175 KM away from MCT. The average time spend to the castle is approx 20- 30 minutes. The castle is open from Saturday to Thursday from 9am to 4pm and on Friday from 8am to 11am. Entry fee is 500 baizas for adults. During our visit ( March and June ) it remains closed .So we had photos outside and the nearby date palm plantation.

Of all the forts visited in Oman, I think Bahla was my favourite. It just looks the part. Finished in mud baked and cracked in the sun embedded with pebbles, gravel, broken pottery, as if it had been there in this state for hundreds of years. It stands proudly on a hill looking over the adjacent properties visible from kilometres away. And it covers a large area with several towers and different buildings to explore on many levels with interconnecting stairways and walkways. There is no information in any of the rooms, neither are they furnished in any way, or, unlike the nearby Jibreen castle, is there an audio guide. But I loved it, it is a real fort from childhood days.

Heavily restored fort, castle and farm - really interesting museum that does a great job explaining the history of the building and area (with good English content)
