Barka Fort

Barka Fort was a new trip for First Grade this year and it did not disappoint.  The Fort is adjacent to the Fish Souq and is large, well-maintained and boasts many interesting features.  The children were particularly fascinated by the cannons pointing out of windows in the fort towers.  A well system that stocked the water for all the inhabitants was also explained by an informative guide and we learned that it had been built in two different phases.  An Omani treasure!
