New gate

A fitting new gate to the historic city of Nizwa. There seems to be a trend to build these imposing structures around the country.

Quite an imposing gate above the two sides of the dual carriageway. Looks like its stil being constructed with the scaffold on top and works to the right side of it, Helen.V

Interesting that they're designed like a fortress - yet no sign of a continuing wall ! V

Well, it does look like an imposing fortress... appropriate for this city, I suppose. V
