Stop in Ibra old town (Al Munisifeh) Discover the Ibra Old Town in the ruins of (Al Munisifeh) Oman. This site, mostly off the touristic path, shows visitors a glimpse at a wealthy period during which the town's rich businessmen built magnificent mudbrick mansions. Tourists normally stop at (Al Munisifeh) which has more decor details left and impressive structures still standing. It was slowly abandoned as people moved to Ibra. Some people still live there. What is surprising is how current Omanis just built next to the ruins, creating a mix of modern buildings with walls and rest of doors or arches.
