Tourist Guide Barka
Barka is a coastal town situated in Al Batinah in the north of Oman. This small city is an hour away from the city of Muscat. The town is gaining popularity as a tourist resort with fifteen billion dollars invested in construction activities in and around this region. The development lies eight kilometers from the Suwadi beach and is termed as the ‘Blue City’. A number of international companies are involved in these development projects. There is a newly renovated fort (the Al Na’man Fort), which lies near the city from where one can get wonderful views of the entire coastal town. Bullfights are held in the town mostly in winter and a large number of people come here to see the event.
