It stands on a hill more than 90 metres above sea level; the fort is 250 metres long and 30 metres wide on average. It sits among the houses of the village, is surrounded by the farming oases of Al Hammam village, and overlooks the main course of the wadis of Dima Wa Al Taiyyin.

  • Ghubrat Al Tam Park

    Ghubrat Al Tam Park

    One of the places in the Wilayat that attract tourists, thanks to its pools of water that never dry up throughout the year. The water is surrounded by towering mountains whose reflection on its surface forms a picture of the Creator's handiwork.
