This 18th century fort and castle built by Imam Sultan bin Saif bin Sultan of the Ya’aruba dynasty stands majestically between the Rustaq and Mussannah cities, bragging of the glories past. Millennium Resort Mussanah is a preferred Oman Muscat hotel among many who visit the place as this Muscat hotel is known to bear all the modern amenities that a discerning traveller would possibly need on his travels. Guarded by 30cm thick carved, brass-studded doors, this magnificent castle consists of the grandiose living quarters of the Imam and his family, several other small rooms, a central courtyard, a kitchen, two towers and also a madrassah – a Qur’anic school. It is also known that the imam’s remains are buried in a walled tomb inside the fort itself as well. A castle is not complete with its own network of secret tunnels and Al Hazm Castle has two of them, one leading all the way to the Ar Rustaq Fort while the other one leads to the coast.
