Description
Immerse yourself in Oman's rich history and culture with a visit to Nizwa, the former capital of the Sultanate during the 6th and 7th centuries. Renowned for its educational institutions, artistic heritage, and historical monuments, Nizwa captivates visitors with its ancient forts and bustling souks. The iconic Nizwa Fort, a marvel of 17th-century architecture, overlooks the vibrant market where traditional crafts, spices, and agricultural products are traded. Located just 1 hour and 50 minutes by road from Muscat, Nizwa offers a convenient yet enriching journey through Oman's cultural heartland, blending ancient history with modern accessibility for a memorable day of exploration.
HIGHLIGHTS
Delve into the rich cultural heritage through the visit to Nizwa Fort, Jabreen Castle, and Bahla Fort, which transport you back in time to discover Oman's grand history spanning millennia.
Stroll through the vibrant and folkloric sections of the Nizwa Souk. This is a great opportunity to discover unique models of Khanjars (traditional daggers that are a source of pride for Omanis).
Itinerary
Start your morning journey to Nizwa, located approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes (155 km) by road from Muscat, and begin your visit by strolling through the various sections of the Souk, which has been present in the city for hundreds of years. You will find a wonderful array of crafts, spices, dates, silverware, livestock, pottery, and more.
Continue to Nizwa Fort, one of the main attractions in the city, built in the 17th century. This fortress is unique in its circular shape, featuring numerous corridors and compartments, and is distinguished by an impressive tower that overlooks the souk.
Next, explore Bahla, a place steeped in myths and legends that have endured through the centuries. Nationally recognized for its pottery, the town of Bahla is surrounded by a 12 km wall and is dominated by the largest fort in the country, which was constructed in the third millennium BCE. This fort is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. (Exterior visit only)
End your day by exploring Jabreen Castle. Built both as a defensive stronghold and a residence for the Imam, Jabreen Castle is certainly one of the most beautiful and picturesque forts in the Sultanate of Oman.
