About
Al Jalali Fort is a historic fortress located in the harbor of Muscat, Oman. Originally built by the Portuguese in the 16th century, the fort served as a defensive stronghold to protect the city from naval invasions. Positioned on a rocky outcrop, it offers commanding views of the Gulf of Oman and the surrounding area. Over the centuries, Al Jalali Fort has been restored and repurposed, including use as a prison and later as a museum showcasing Omani heritage and military history.
