Birkat Al Mouz Ruins
We will continue our way to the old village of Birkat Al Mouz. This village runs up the side of a small mountain that is home to its own oasis containing gorgeous plantations of banana trees and various data palms. You can see the one of a kind irrigation system in Oman known as Aini, Dawoodi, and Ghaily.
Nizwa Souq
We will move on to the city of Nizwa. The old capital of Oman, Nizwa is the home of the famous souk markets. We will stop here for a chance to browse and purchase various souvenirs such as Omani silver crafts and other handmade items.
Nizwa Fort Oman
We will pay a visit to the Nizwa fort for a cost of 5 Omani rial. This fortress was built by Sultan Bin Saif Al Ya'rubi and remains to be the biggest fort in Oman. After, we will visit the old village Al Hamra, a 400-year-old town in north eastern Oman.
Al Hamra
Al Hamra is a 400-year-old town in the region Ad Dakhiliyah, in northeastern Oman. The town is thriving and lively but holds a secret. The 400-year-old town popped up around an amazing abandoned village. The Al Hamra ruins are estimated to be between 700-1000 years old and are left completely untouched.
Misfat al Abreyeen
Misfat Al Abriyeen is a unique mountainous village located 1,000 m above sea level on the mountain foothills surrounding wilayat Al Hamra in Al Dhakhiyla Governorate. The village derives its name from the Al Abri tribe, who originally come from Misfat Al Abriyeen and Al Hamra.
Jebel Shams
Jebel Shams is a mountain located in northeastern Oman north of Al Hamra town. It is known as Jabal Shams because it is the first place to receive sunrise in Oman due to its high peak. It is the highest mountain of the Hajar range and the country.

Bahla Fort
Bahla Fort is one of four historic fortresses situated at the foot of the Jebel Akhdar highlands in Oman and the country's only UNESCO-listed fort added in 1987. The fort underwent massive restoration efforts and reopened in 2012. However, the complex lacks in visitor information.
Jibreen Castle
Built in 1675 by Imam Bil-Arab Bin Sultan, Jabreen Castle was an important centre of learning for astrology, medicine and Islamic law and, unusually for Oman's forts and castles, there's quite a lot to discover inside the vast battlements. There is an interesting date store, for example, to the right of the main entrance on the left-hand side. The juice of the fruit would have run along the channels into storage vats, ready for cooking or to assist women in labour.
