Bukha Fort

Bukha Castle, also known as Bukha Fort, lies in the quiet fishing village of the same name, in the Musandam Governorate in Oman.

Bukha Fort may have been built as early as the 16th century. It was certainly used in the 17th century by Saif bin Sultan Al Ya'rubi, a powerful ruler whose influence extended into Persia, India and East Africa. It has a, more or less, square ground plan with one round corner tower, 2 rectangular corner towers and one central rectangular tower.
