Qabus Ibn Voshmgir Tower in Kalāleh

Its a incredible building that shows people could make such a great thing 1000 years ago.

The landmark itself is mysterious and a true masterpieceHowever, dont expect anything more than the buildingNo guidance, not much informationAlso, the entrance fee is very cheap and apparently free for childrenThe place is accessible for people who use a wheelchair but the path is not safe at allIn fact the path to the landmark is not very safe for anyone

It was a bit boring

At first, it is just a historical monument, made of bricks. But besides its architectural engineering, it is designed based on acoustics engineering, a thousand years ago.

Very strange architecture and voice refection

World heritage site. Unfortunately it was under construction when we visited
