Al-Hazm Fort in Rustaq, Oman, is a magnificent example of Islamic architecture, known for its defensive capabilities and unique features like the two cannons on the roof. The fort is generally accessible, though some areas may have limited mobility access. Visiting solo allows for flexibility, but a guided tour enriches the experience with historical context. There are generally no seasonal restrictions, but it's best to check local sources for specific holidays or events that may affect opening hours. The entry fee is typically low, making it an affordable attraction, and a typical visit lasts around 1-2 hours, providing ample time to explore its various sections and courtyards. Remember to dress respectfully and bring water, especially during hotter months.
