These structures are complemented by a stylised glass enclosure reminiscent of the prow of a Ganjah, one of the largest and most beautiful of traditional Omani sailing ships. The pavilion exterior combines elements of two of its famous historic forts. At the rear is the distinctive round tower of Oman's old capital, Nizwa. In front, the elegant tower of Sohar, a port city once known as The Gateway to China, now once again welcomes visitors from Shanghai.
