Taqah Castle was built in the 19th century. This makes it a relatively new castle in comparison to forts and castles found in the north of Oman, such as the forts in Nizwa, Bahla, and Nakhal, which are hundreds, if not thousands, years old. Taqah Castle is also different from other landmark castles in Oman in the fact that it used to be a private residence for a tribal leader, Sheikh Ali bin Taman Al Ma’shani – Â the grandfather of the mother of Sultan Qaboos. Taqah Castle became the property of the government in the first half of the 20th century during the times of Sultan Said bin Taimur, the father of Sultan Qaboos. During the 1960s the castle was expanded by adding the outer wall and its four towers. The castle was more recently renovated during the times of Sultan Qaboos and reopened as a museum in 1994.

Enter ticket is 500 baisa (1000 baisa=1 rial). Well maintained and like a time capsule. The castle has two parts, one is the main building which has ticket box which open to public , and another one locates on the top of small hills within walking distance that can visit outdoor only. On the way here is a little bit lost due to some constructions are going nearby. Just look for any castle structure on the top of hill first, then should be able to see the main structure on the bottom of the hill.

The place is very nice, the staff who sold us the tickets there were very friendly and gave us warm welcoming.

Please stick to the signs and make sure to watch your children and prevent them from touching things away from your supervision. You can climb the towers if you want (only for adults) and don't let your children do it on their own. There's a nice market and a cafe infornt of the castle you can have a look at them.

Btw, google maps give a wrong location, make sure to slide next to mosque, the castle is...
