Oman

This is the only postcard of Oman I have, dates from late 2005 when Flerdle was staying there.. and since she went back to Australia the next year and now it’s been 3 years I don’t seem to find any other Oman Postcrosser on the forum.. so I guess it’s not very likely for me to receive another Oman card for the time being. Well, one is much better than none :)

From Flerdle. This is the Rustaq Fort, its structure was built in the 11th century with three levels, containing separate houses, an armoury, a mosque and four towers. Rustaq was once the capital of Oman, during the era of Imam Nasir bin Murshid al Ya’arubi. There are many watchtowers and forts in Oman.. some are simple lookouts, and others were once major fortifications or even palaces. Most of them have been careflly restored.
