Full Day Nizwa Tour

In this tour, the first destination is one of Oman's oldest cities and a typical middle eastern city full of its Arabic color. Personally, Nizwa is very close to my heart as it represents the very unique and ancient culture of Arab society. We will have a walkthrough of Nizwa souq and will reach the fort to witness the old-fashioned jail and defense systems. From there we head towards the green and lush Jabal Akhdar above 2000m above sea level. The climate in Jabal Akdhar is very balanced during summers so I always choose to stay in this mild Mediterranean climate during the summer holidays. After experiencing the unique labyrinth wadis and mountains of Jabal Akhdar we will drive down to Barkat Al Mouz where you will see an old irrigation system called "Falaj" and an old village before heading back to your hotel in Muscat.

* This tour begins with Nizwa, the former capital of Oman. The Nizwa Souq is one most popular markets in the country. A diverse range of vendors sell goods on the streets of the souq. From f ish, meat, vegetable to pottery, jewelry, handicrafts, and souvenirs, all are sold at this authentic old marketNext . * Next to the Souq is the Nizwa Fortress is located next to the Souq. This fort is now a museum with stunning views of the ancient town, surrounded by mountains. You can walk around this magnificent fortress and explore the rooms, passages, and towers with a good read of the history. * Then we drive to Jabal Al-Akdhar, also known as "The Green Mountain, " to see panoramic views of Nizwa and Izki and to capture canyons in your cameras. * After lunch, we'll drive down to Barkat AlMouz Village, where we'll find the traditional "falaj" which is a beautiful water channel. We can take a stroll around the old town before we head back to Muscat by late afternoon. All my tours can be customized upon request.
