Bilad Sur Castle, Ash Sharqiyah South Governorate, Oman
Bilad Sur Castle is an old Islamic fort located in Sur in Ash Sharqiyah South Governorate, Oman. It is dating back to the 18th Century AD.
Built to defend the town against marauding tribes from the interior, 200-year-old Bilad Sur Castle boasts unusually shaped towers. It has been closed for an extended period for restoration, but you can wander around the outside. To reach the castle, turn left off Main St, 1.3km from the clocktower roundabout at the Muscat end of town, at an elaborately kitsch residence.
