Why visit Nizwa
Once Oman's capital, Nizwa is home to a well-preserved 17th-century fort, one of the country's most famous, along with a traditional souk known for silver jewelry, pottery and a lively Friday livestock market.
Combining Nizwa with Jebel Akhdar
Most tours from Muscat combine Nizwa with a drive up to Jebel Akhdar, a mountain region known for terraced gardens and dramatic canyon viewpoints, requiring a 4x4 due to road restrictions.
