THE EXPERIENCE

Discover Dhayah Fort

The climb to Dhayah is part of the experience. A zigzagging staircase rises above date gardens to a compact, twin-towered fort, making the relationship between the oasis, mountains and sea easy to understand.

Pause to notice the surrounding landscape as well as the building. The official tourism guide explains that the approach is unsuitable for wheelchairs and prams. This is a heritage stop requiring a climb, so leave enough daylight for the descent.

  • Twin-towered hilltop fort
  • Oasis and coastal panorama
  • Historic defensive landscape
