Bahla Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Oman, is a massive historical mud-brick fortress offering a glimpse into the country's rich past. While some areas might pose accessibility challenges for visitors with mobility issues due to uneven terrain and stairs, exploring the fort can be done independently, though hiring a local guide can enrich the experience with historical insights. The best time to visit is during the cooler months (October to April) to avoid the intense summer heat. The entry fee is generally inexpensive, and a typical visit lasts around 2-3 hours, allowing ample time to explore the various towers, rooms, and courtyards within the fort complex. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring water, especially during warmer periods.
