The fort had been built by unbaked bricks, and stones. The entire structure of the Bahla Fort is divided into three main parts from inside. The remnants of this old beauty exemplified the bygone grandeur and splendor of the Banu Nebhan tribe. The fort has also undergone various renovations, in order to gain its former glory. It was listed as a world heritage site by UNESCO in the year of 1987.
