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。"

Ancient City of Qalhat
"The property, which is located on the east coast of the Sultanate of Oman, includes the ancient city of Qalhat, surrounded by inner and outer walls, as well as areas beyond the ramparts where necropolises are located. The city developed as a major port on the east coast of Arabia between the 11th and 15th centuries CE, during the reign of the Hormuz princes. The Ancient City bears unique archaeological testimony to the trade links between the east coast of Arabia, East Africa, India, China and South-East Asia."

卡尔哈特古城
"该遗产地位于阿曼苏丹国东海岸的卡尔哈特,遗址包括拥有内外城墙的卡尔哈特古城,以及城墙外的墓地。在11-15世纪的霍尔木兹王朝统治期间,卡尔哈特发展成为阿拉伯东海岸的主要港口。如今它已成为阿拉伯东海岸与东非、印度、中国和东南亚之间的贸易联系的独特见证。"
