The old town of Tanuf was abandoned in the 1960s, a casualty of the Jebel Wars of a decade earlier. Bombed by the British at the request of the then Sultan the town was damaged and its inhabitants left leaving what is today a great example of a tradition Omani town.
The watchtower is part of the old town permimeter at the foot of Jebel Akhdar.
