Once you see the oldest building in the city, make your way to the Heritage Village. The village is full of old souks, a traditional fort, dhows and even an old-style mosque. The fort was once built to seek protection from invaders from the sea. There are barastis – houses woven with palm leaf and an ox-drawn well along with an ancient irrigation system called 'falaj.' If you're travelling with family, the kids will love the village with its pottery, weaving and the captivating art of glass blowing.
