What To Expect

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.

30 minutes • Admission Not Applicable

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.

Had a fantastic day with Asaad and a couple from France. Another Italian was supposed to come along but he had gone with another group. Left a bit later than planned so we changed the program and went first to Jebel Shams and then to Nizwa. In retrospect, I think much more fun! Asaad spoke good English and told along the way much, very nice! Enjoyed the views at Jebel Shams. Then lunch and to Nizwa Fort & Castle and finally to the souk. Asaad let us taste many local dishes and there was always coffee & dates. Super enjoyed this day 😃

We had the pleasure of visiting Nizwa fort and souk along with Jebel Shams with tour guide Abdullah A. He was warm, knowledgeable and a lot of fun to be with. He informed us about local customs and history which made our experience more meaningful. Nizwa fort was a place to explore Omani culture. The view from Jebel Shams was breath taking. Lunch was a sumptuous shared meal which allowed us to taste various dishes, in keeping with the local tradition. Overall, would highly recommend this tour.

A long day… but worth it. Nizwa is a cool experience. A bit commercial in places, but the old souq and fort are great. The real gem is the canyon. Truly spectacular!
Wonderful experience

I had a wonderful experience on this tour. As a solo female traveller I was quite nervous but Khalil and the group were wonderful. I was picked up and dropped off to my hotel in a 4x4. There were three other people in the car and they were wonderful. There were plenty of rest breaks given, water was supplied along with refreshments and lunch. Khalil the tour guide kept the group entertained and I really felt the omani hospitality. Nizwa was amazing and I enjoyed jebel shams as well.

This is a great trip, a long day but well worth it. It was estimated to be 10 hours but was actually 12 hours. This was a small group tour, only 12 people, but we travelled in 3 4x4s. Our driver and guide, Abdul Hamid, was lovely and very knowledgeable. Nizwa Fort is amazing, one could spend a lot longer there than we had. Travelling to the mountains and "grand canyon" was amazing. A very good lunch was included in the price. I thoroughly recommend this trip.
Nice day

This is an amazing experience for one day trip outside Muscat. Our guide Khalil is very professional and kind taking care of our comfort and safety. We could visit animal market in Nizwa because of Friday. Fort is worthy to visit as well as mountains scenery.

It was a great way to see a bit of Omani life outside Muscat and see the amazing Canyon at Jebel Shams. My guide/driver Salim was very good and made the day most enjoyable.
