There are many rooms in Jabrin Fort for various daily functions such as sleeping, receiving guests, kitchen, hall, dinning room, prison, gaurd room, store room etc. The fort is also designed in such a way that fresh water could flow through its man-made channels and there is a well for additional water. To have an educational tour, it is better to have a guide to show you around. This photograph shows one of the many guest rooms of the fort.
