Nizwa is a small town in the Sultanate that was the first Omani capital in the 6th and 7th centuries. It has kept its charm over the years despite its rapid evolution and the increase in the number of tourists on its streets. Famous for its fort and watchtower that protect the city, this village is the land of the Imams Ibn Al Julanda, the first sultans of Oman. Come and discover the fort of Bahla, a site incorporated in Unesco Heritage in 1987.
Your tour will start with a visit to the Fort surrounded by palm trees, built by Imam Sultan Bin Saif Al Ya’ruba. Then you will take the road to Nizwa Souq, the town famous for its handicrafts and agricultural products available in its famous Souk. Its inhabitants are masters in the making of Khanjar (bent dagger). Then continue to Birkat al Mouz (literally “banana basin”), a small area about 2 km from the base of Jebel Akdhar for a stroll. Finish your day with a visit to Jabrin Fort.
