Al Jalali Fort is distinguished by its strategic view of the Sea of Oman along the northeastern side of the old city of Muscat. The fort consists of two towers connected by a wall with openings for cannons in addition to service and storage rooms. The Portuguese completed its construction in the year 1587 AD. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, during the period of Sayyid Saeed bin Sultan's reign, many of the fort's features were developed until it reached its current form.
