• Old Ibra Al Minzifah

    November 20 in Oman ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    This is a small walled town of about 18 houses. There is much reconstruction happening in and around the historic mud brick buildings.
    The 1st picture is a longer look at the site while the 2nd picture is a restoration that is now a coffee house (and a good one, at that).
    The next 2 pictures are of the restored city wall and main gate.
    The 5th picture is a house right inside the main gate called Bait Al Darwaza, and it shares some structure with the gate. The house has been restored as a museum of the town, and the rest of the pictures are in, or on the roof of, the house/museum and show but a portion of what's on offer.
    There are the men's room or meeting room, and the women's room. There's a records room and the kitchen. Finally there's the roof and views over the oasis where the town was built.
