Al Hazm Castle outside of Rustaq stands out amongst the multitude of Omani forts and castles, due to its intricate architectural detail. It was built in 1708 by Imam Sultan bin Saif al Yarubi, the religious head of the Yarubi dynasty ruling Oman at that time. Although heavily fortified, it served as the Imam’s home, and he was buried there in 1718.

The castle is a masterpiece of Islamic architecture as it does not contain any ceiling rafters; rather, the roofs are held up by columns. It features an intricately carved wooden entry door from India, as well beautifully stuccoed interiors. There is a falaj that runs under the castle, providing vital water to the inhabitants. The castle also has a prison, mosque and a madrassah (Quran school). There are also secret tunnels running beneath the castle, and with one connecting to the Rustaq Fort 32 kms (20 miles) away!

Today,we bless the people of Oman to prepare a beautiful dwelling place for the King of Kings in their own hearts!
