Oman / Al Batinah
/ Barka
Barka is one of the historic cities on the coast of Oman which
flourished the Ya'aruba and the Bu Said . It was an area of export
and received produce from the neighbouring wilayats to ship to
India, Basra and East Africa. Reminders of the prosperity of these
times include Al Na'man Fort, built by the Imam Saif bin Sultan
al Ya'rubi (Qid al Ard), who planted 30,000 palm and coconut trees
around its walls. Al Sayid Sultan bin
Ahmad built
the garrison headquarters of Bait al Falaj in the 19th century
AD which is now the Armed Forces Museum.
