Dhafeer Fort

This modest fort is one of a handful of strongholds scattered throughout the oasis that once helped guard the area from attack by rival tribes. There's nothing to see inside, but it's worth a quick stop to climb the stairs to the roof for views of the surrounding dunes and to get an idea of the region's 19th-century mud-brick architecture.
