About Bahla

The fortress and the town are enclosed by the extensive remnants of a 12-km long fortified wall. Most buildings in the town are constructed of traditional mud brick, many of them hundreds of years old. The best view of the fortifications and the fortress can be had from just outside the western entrance, near the Jabrin junction. Bahla is also known in Oman asMadinat Al Sehr('City of Magic') due to its long association with djinn and sorcerers, an association continuing to the present day.
