What To Expect
The village is characterised by charming gardens, lush plantations and time-tested defence towers and fences. Overall, it is a village with exceptional beauty — something worthy to be immortalised on paintings.
Nizwa Souq
The Nizwa Souq is among the largest of its kind in the country. A wide variety of vendors offer their goods in the streets of the souk. Here you can find fish, meat, vegetables, pottery, jewelry, handicrafts and souvenirs which are sold in authentic old market halls that few places can boast. Especially interesting is the Friday cattle market when the locals from the nearby Villages come to sell their donkeys, goats, cattle, sheep, and chickens in a circus-style open marketplace.

5.00With Star Tours Oman we had visited the place of Nizwa and there’s a lot of things to see. The local seasonal market is an interesting experience with live traditional folklore dancing. You can walk around the fort and make some nice photos at the top. I highly recommend this tour.
Star Tours turned our simple 2 night mandatory stopover into the absolute highlight of our entire vacation!!

5.00Due to flight schedules we were required to make a 2-night stopover in Muscat to catch our return flight home... just something "we had to do".... and no expectation beyond that. We contacted Star Tours in Muscat very last minute to see if a private itinerary could be done; the proposal made for us was: - meet & greet at MCT on arrival - Private Muscat city tour with drop off at hotel - Private Nizwa and Jebel Akhdar/Green Mountain tour next day - Private departure transfer to MCT on the third day Rhoda at the Star Tours office made everything easy... available by both WhatsApp and email... a little discussion and we were set. The morning of our arrival into Muscat came, we landed and were greeted at MCT Arrivals by Hamood... and off we went.... Off we went to experience the most amazing history and culture of Oman; passionately shared and described by Hamood... and at every moment treating us like family. Whether it was understanding the history, negotiating in the markets or simply sitting for some coffee and dates... the entire experience was warm and genuine. Over the two days of touring with Hamood we were left with an entirely new understanding of Oman and its people along with the most amazing memories. The two days of touring in Oman were the absolute highlight of a two week trip. For a visit that was originally just something "we had to do", our experience with Star Tours has left us with the whole new perspective that we will share with friends... that being: "A visit to Oman with Star Tours is something you MUST do!"
