What To Expect
Muscat
Your adventure begins with a scenic drive from Muscat toward the historic city of Nizwa, once the capital of Oman. Along the way, enjoy views of small mountain villages and date palm farms.
Nizwa Souq
At Nizwa Souq, travelers can wander through one of Oman’s oldest and most vibrant markets, full of traditional charm and local life. The souq is famous for its silver jewelry, handmade daggers (khanjars), pottery, spices, and dates. Visitors can: Explore local crafts — watch artisans shaping pottery or engraving silver. Shop for souvenirs — from colorful fabrics and incense to handwoven baskets and Omani perfumes. Taste Omani flavors — sample local dates, halwa (Omani sweets), and strong Arabic coffee. Experience the Friday goat market (if visiting on Friday morning), where locals trade livestock in a lively traditional auction. The souq offers a great opportunity to meet friendly Omani traders, take beautiful photos, and experience the culture and traditions that make Nizwa a historic heart of Oman.

Authentic experience of Nizwa & Green Mountain 👌😎

5.00I visited Oman last October and used Said as our Muscat guide, so it was a no brainer to contact him when I returned this week for a visit to Nizwa & the Green Mountain. He's a super friendly, knowledgeable local who goes out of his way to give you an authentic experience of Oman. Nizwa is the ancient capital so the Soul & Fort are essential on any visit, and the Green Mountain is spectacular at over 2000 metres . Said's tours are fun and fast paced, he provides a great value experience...don't hesitate if you're thinking of using his services, this guy is a genuine superstar.
Top tour of Nizwa & Green Mountain with an expert guide 😎🌴🐫🇴🇲

5.00Having used Said's services in an earlier trip last October, once I decided to return to Oman again, he was the obvious choice as his service / tour is so professional. Nizwa and the Green Mountain was somewhere I'd read about in tourist guides, but I didn't want a ' package tour' experience, so again, he was the obvious choice to experience ' the real Oman' , escorted by a local. Nizwa is the old capital, with lots of history, and the Green Mountain feels like the top of the world. Great tour, amazing sights, super company ...10 /10. No hesitation recommending this to anyone interested in an authentic experience.
Perfect day trip

5.00I found this tour to be fantastic. The tour is a full day covering multiple spots around Nizwa and the mountains. Whether you are a history buff, outdoorsman, or foodie I think there is something you will enjoy on this tour. Said is also a true gem. He can answer any questions you have about Oman, and keeps the energy and positivity going for the entire trip. Said is also very organized and keeps in contact with you leading up to the trip, so you can be confident the tour will run as planned. In hindsight I can’t imagine taking this trip with any other organizer. It was certainly the highlight of my entire trip to Oman!

Omani culture and history brought to life

5.00A full day tour introducing us not only to ancient Omani capital cities at the base of the majestic Al Hajar Mountains, but providing equally wonderful glimpses of everyday life in the 21st century as well. A highlight was certainly the date market in Nizwa's beautiful old town, but equally impressive were the mud-clad Bahra fort and the stunningly beautiful Jabreen Castle, one of Oman's greatest castles. Thank you very much, @Said, for guiding us expertedly on the day, we really enjoyed travelling with you - a highly recommendable fullday tour!
A highly interesting day trip

5.00A great trip to forts and castle with Said who also showed us the beauty of the surroundings of Nizwa and Jabreen Castle. Also the old market with its own date hall were very interesting. You could try all kinds! A long day, but it was worth it. Thanks Said!!

5.00Said is a perfect guide who is very responsive to the wishes of the participants and really answers all questions. Nizwa offers a lot of impressive things and we are still on the second highest mountain Jebel Akhdar, highly recommended. I can recommend Said 100%.
