Nizwa Souq
The site of one of the oldest souqs in the country, this extensive marketplace is dedicated mostly to fruit and vegetables, meat and fish, all of which are housed in separate blocks behind the great, crenellated piece of city wall that overlooks the wadi. Part of the souq (nearest the fort) is dedicated to handicrafts and caters specifically to the passing tourist trade.
Nizwa Fort Oman
Nizwa Fort — the most attended monument of Oman. The fort was built almost 370 years ago and it’s based on the stream of water underneath. Surely, it’s one of the best castles of that period worth seeing. Then we’ll make a visit to Nizwa Souq. At the market you can buy traditional knives, pots and other unique items.

We were picked up on time by Mohammed, our driver and guide who did a great job of looking after us for the day. The programme was very varied and Mohammed’s knowledgeable and clear explanations taught us so much about Oman. He was a credit to his tour company and to his country and has left us with many wonderful memories.

A great day out with 3 of us, with a knowledgeable and inforamtive guide. Mohammed looked after us well and was very hospitable. A lot packed into one day with a tour of the fort and visit to the souq in Nizwa. Then up an incredibly steep road to the green mountain with spectacular views and a tour around on top with lunch. Plenty of photo stops, managed to stop in Birkat al Mouz as sun went down to get some great photo's.

My guide, Mohammed Ali, was excellent, both in his local knowledge and in being ultra helpful. I was going to a friend’s place for dinner that evening and then guide went out of his way to help me, speaking to my friend and finding a safe taxi to get me there. He made sure the taxi driver had both his and my friend’s details so that they could ensure I got there safely. The locations we visited were beautiful. We were a small group of four and everyone in the group was friendly.

The trip among the mountains is espectacular. Once in Nizwa, the visit of Date Market is a must to taste different types of dates. The zouk is not big but good enough to find souvernirs. The Fort is really worth of visiting. The interior is beautiful. Perfect place to get good pictures. We had a very good and friendly guide Mohammed that was explaining not only about the places we visited but also about the Omaní life. The lunch was simple but very tasty. In out way back we visited the small old village Bait al Sabat. Definetely good place to take last pictures.

I visited Nizwa for first time through GidOman , my tour Guide was Gamal. A local expert, I did full day trip in different destinations starting from the market, fort to local places and hiking in mountain then to berkat almooz that was registered in UNESCO. He introduced me to full history, hidden gems and nice resturant. I highly recommend Gamal and GidOman for your next trip to Nizwa. Enjoy and thanks for all

We did this trip as a family group of 3 and had a fabulous day puts Mohammed was our guide and communicated ahead of the trip confirming pickup etc. He drove really well and shared his insights into Omani life. We are pleased we chose this trip and would recommend it. We went on a Friday when the animal market was running at Nizwrah which made it even more special. Thank you Mohammed.
