No entries meet the exact criteria for “Ruins in Oman.”
The phrase “ruins” here is very specific. It implies a complete, searchable list of sites that are unmanaged, visibly collapsed, and officially labeled as “ruins.” Oman mostly classifies its heritage as forts, archaeological sites, restored monuments, or UNESCO properties. Many ancient places are conserved or still in use, so they do not match a narrow definition of “ruins.”
Oman’s history and heritage policy also shape the result. The country protects and restores key sites, so few major places sit as unmaintained ruins. Archaeology in Oman focuses on preservation and controlled access. Near matches that almost fit a loose idea of “ruins” include the archaeological city of Qalhat (ruined port near Sur), the trade-port remains at Khor Rori / Sumhuram in Dhofar, and the Bronze Age tombs and settlements around Bat, Al-Khutm and Al-Ayn (UNESCO World Heritage). Many well-known places—Bahla Fort, Nizwa Fort, Jabrin Castle—are maintained and described as forts or castles rather than ruins.
