This archaeological site represents a former pearling town which was later covered by drifting sands. It is now being painstakingly uncovered and restored. You can see the ground floor of several courtyard houses and watchtowers. The guides were knowledgeable and spoke good English.
You can get here by normal car. Waze took me straight to the fort. I didnt realise there was a bus that takes you to see the ruins which i believe are every hour. Though it took us sooner as there were a few of us waiting. We were accompanied by a tour guide who talked us through how people in the village used to live. You have the option of doing a longer walk around the ruins which i think would be 50 mins. You are then taken by bus to the palace. The fort had been restored and was interesting to walk around. It was interesting to see. It surprised me that it was free they only needed to know if we were residents or visitors
Reconstructed fort in the desert

I loved my experience there, its so cool an different and takes you back in time, but its a lot smaller than I thought, I think it doesn't deserve for a 1h way to only see the castle, but if your a tourist or intrested in these things it would be a nice experience for you.
