This popular attraction provides insights into the region's cultural heritage and traditional Omani life. Constructed in the 19th century during Sultan Taimur bin Faisal al Said's rule, it was initially the home of Sheikh Ali bin Taman Al Ma'shani, the grandfather of Sultan Qaboos's mother. The building later became government property and served as an administrative center and residence for local governors. Extensive restoration by the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism allowed the castle to reopen as a museum in 1994, preserving its original architecture and showcasing Omani history. The castle's white stone structure offers a distinctive and appealing appearance.
