Oman / Muscat / Attractions / Bab al Matha'eeb


Years ago, Muscat was walled in. However, the wall is now replaced by a stone moat, which the Omanis call al hosn or the fortification. Parts of the original wall still remain in which are located the three main access gates to the city: Bab al Matha'eeb, the Greater Gate and the Lesser Gate.
