This fort is said to be dated back to 1000BC and you can tell. It's magnificent. It has ancient scriptures and markings written along the walls which tell details of a lost civilization. Probably the gem of the Middle East.

There weren't any signs or maps around the fort, I guess because it's so old, but our tour guide took us there and it was great! Highly recommended.
