Muscat / Attractions / Bab al Matha'eeb

Years ago, Muscat was walled in. However, the wall is now replaced by a stone moat, which the Omanis call al hosn or the fortification. Parts of the original wall still remain in which are located the three main access gates to the city: Bab al Matha'eeb, the Greater Gate and the Lesser Gate.

The people of Vietnam regained independence and broke away from China in AD 938 after their victory at the battle of Bach ang River.
