- Step into History at Jabreen Castle:
Our journey through time continues at the magnificent Jabreen Castle. This 17th-century marvel stands as a testament to Omani craftsmanship:
Admire the intricately carved wooden doors and beams
Gaze in wonder at the enchanting painted ceilings. Explore the maze-like rooms, each telling its own story of Oman's rich past
