BAIT NA'MAN

This imposing castle-like house was built in the 17th century by Imam Bil Arab bin Sultan and his brother Imam Saif bin Sultan. It was a kind of caravanserai, a place of passage and meeting for armies and travellers between Rustaq and Muscat. Restored in 1992, the house unfolds a succession of ornate rooms, much more than the average citadel, with antique furniture and accessories that give an idea of the way of life of the Omanis in the old days and their defence system. Interesting visit.
