Illustration Sumail Fort. This fort lies at the end of the Sumail Gap in the town of the same name, and has usually been considered the strategic point to the interior. Throughout the history of the Sultanate many attacks were either launched from here to the coast, or it was the first point captured before an attack from the coast continued into the interior.
