Monuments to visit Birkat Al-Mawz

This large fortified house(Bayt) was built in the ^17th century by Imam Sultan bin Saif bin Malik Al Ya'rubi in order to protect the access to Jebel Akhdar and the falaj Al Khatmeen, which is essential for the irrigation of the vast oasis of Birkat Al-Mawz and which runs through the castle. With its arches, bas-reliefs and painted ceilings, the building is not without a certain elegance. It has all the attributes of a defensive building with its central courtyard, its towers at opposite angles and its crenellated ramparts. Renovated, it houses an interesting small museum of arms.
