Where Nakhl, Oman
When 1993
Photographer James L. Stanfield

"Sentinel of the past, the restored fort at Nakhl attests to Omani skill at military architecture: Built before A.D. 600, it has withstood many an army. Such fortresses strongly influence the design of Omani buildings—even telephone booths."

—From "Oman," May 1995, National Geographic magazine
