433 OM - Bahla Fort (1987)

Brief Description

"The oasis of Bahla owes its prosperity to the Banu Nebhan, the dominant tribe in the area from the 12th to the end of the 15th century. The ruins of the immense fort, with its walls and towers of unbaked brick and its stone foundations, is a remarkable example of this type of fortification and attests to the power of the Banu Nebhan."

巴赫莱要塞

"巴赫莱绿洲的繁荣应归功于巴努·内布罕部落,这一部落从12世纪到15世纪晚期一直统治着这个地区。这个庞大堡垒的废墟有土制的城墙和碉堡以及用石头打的地基,是此类型防御工事中突出的例子,由此也可以看出巴努·内布罕部落的实力。"
