![Rohtas Fort (Punjabi, Urdu: قلعہ روہتاس Qila Rohtas) is a historical garrison fort located near the city of Jhelum in Punjab, Pakistan. It was built under Afghan king Sher Shah Suri, to subdue the rebellious tribes of the northern Punjab region, in the 16th century. This fort is about 4 km in circumference. The Rohtas fort was built to crush the local tribes of Potohar, who rebelled against the Sur dynasty after the Mughal emperor Humayun was ousted by the former.
It took eight years to build the fort, it was captured by Mughal emperor Humayun in 1555.[1] Nadir Shah, the Turkic ruler of Persia, Afghan ruler Ahmed Shah Abdali and the Maratha army also camped here during their respective campaigns in the Punjab region. Rohtas was also occasionally used for administrative purposes by the Sikh ruler Ranjit Singh after he captured it in 1825.[2](https://mediaim.expedia.com/destination/2/7042a4592237a930df970541d2f10351.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1200&h=500&q=medium)

1/5 Terrible
"I went to wee the hitel room and I was disgusted. Room smelt of damp and I had allergy within 15mins of being there. The bathroom was in a really bad state. I had to leave the hotel room straight away and went to another decent hotel.
I did not stay there, I'm not sure what I've been charged for. "
