Oman's Haysab (خَصَب) is located at the top of the Musandam Peninsula, adjacent to the Strait of Hormuz at the mouth of the Persian Gulf. Haysab was once a small fishing village, and the Portuguese built a castle on the beach at the mouth of the village in the 17th century, which is now Khasab castle. About 25 years after the castle was built, the Portuguese were evicted from Oman, and the castle was taken over by Oman's rulers. At present, the coastline has extended a few hundred meters into the sea, the castle is surrounded by roads, and Haiseb has become a small town, the provincial capital of Musandam. To develop the local tourism industry, the castle was restored in 1990. The castle has a rounded tower and three square towers, which is now a museum. # World Heritage Tour
