Things to see and do Bukha

Built in the early 17th century by Saif bin Sultan Al Ya'rubi, a powerful ruler whose influence extended to Persia, India and East Africa, this fort was the main defence of the western coastal region. Refurbished in 1990, it has four towers, three of which are rectangular, and a round main tower that is slightly different from those of the other citadels in that it is less wide at the top than at the bottom. This architectural specificity was supposed to ensure a better resistance to cannon balls.
