Nizwa Fort Oman

It was built in the 1650s by the second Ya’rubi ; Imam Sultan Bin Saif Al Ya'rubi, although its underlying structure goes back to the 12th century. It is Oman's most visited national monument. The fort was the administrative seat of authority for the presiding Imams and Walis in times of peace and conflict. The main bulk of the fort took about 12 years to complete and was built above an underground stream. The fort is a powerful reminder of the town's significance through turbulent periods in Oman's long history.

We had an amazing trip to Nizwa with our driver Nasser! 😊 He picked us up from our hotel in Muscat and took us to Nizwa where we explored the Souk and the Fort. Nasser was very friendly and helpful. He was flexible in changing the plan last minute due to poor weather conditions. We also went by 4x4 car into the mountains where we explored local villages. The scenery was beautiful 💕 We would 100% recommend Nasser as a driver in Oman.
Nice trip
