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.
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.

4.00There is a lot of driving but travellers get to see more traditional living of Omanis, the countryside and the Al Hajar Mountains. A drive up Jebel Shams to over look the canyon is well worth the long day to look down into the canyon. The journey would have been more comfortable if the vehicle had been larger. There was not enough leg room
Amazing

5.00Muadh was our tour guide and he was absolutely fantastic. He was well versed with the history of Oman. He took us to the best places whilst providing us cultural information about Nizwa, Nizwa fort and Jebel Shams. All in all, I wouldn’t have enjoyed this without such a great tour guide! I would highly recommend!
Great day trip from Muscat

5.00Our driver/guide Yaqoob was great. He's knowledgeable, friendly and did his best to make sure "everyone is happy" as he would always say. We saw the items in the itinerary but he also stopped at the water irrigation system as a bonus for the day. Highly recommend.
Good driving with yummy lunch!
