About

Jabrin (Arabic: جبرين), also spelled Jabreen, Jabrin, and Jibreen, is a small town in Ad Dakhiliyah Governorate in northeastern Oman near Nizwa and the Jabal Akhdar Mountains.

The town is known for its large castle, which was built by the Yaruba dynasty Imam Bil'arab bin Sultan, who ruled from 1679 to 1692 and who was buried on site. The castle is open to visitors.
