Jabrin, also known as Jabreen, (
Arabic: جبرين) is a small town in Ad Dakhiliyah Governorate in northeastern Oman near Nizwa and the Jabal Akhdar
Mountains.
The town is known for its impressive castle, which was built by the
Yaruba dynasty Imam Bil'arab bin Sultan, who ruled from 1679 to 1692[1] and who was buried onsite. The castle can be visited independently with an audio guide that is provided at the entrance and which lasts about 25 minutes.[2]
