Rakhyut Fort Museum

Rakhyut Fort Museum occupies the historic fort at the center of Rakhyut Wilayat in Dhofar Governorate, a structure local residents first built in 1525 for coastal defense. The fort was rebuilt during the era of Sultan Taimur bin Faisal after a 1925 visit and rebuilt again under Sultan Qaboos bin Said, with restoration completing in 2013. Researcher Hamed bin Said Akak later founded the museum inside it, reopening the site on 20 November 2025 as a cultural venue for national and heritage events that drew over six thousand visitors of different nationalities that year.
