Day Tour to the Enchanting Forts of Nizwa

Muscat, Oman

Nizwa is located about 1.5 hours drive from Muscat, and is today of the most popular tourist attractions in Oman, with its historical buildings and imposing fort built in the mid 17th century by Imam Sultan Bin Saif Al Ya'ribi. Nizwa's palm oasis stretches for 5 miles (8 kilometers) along the course of two wadis.

After a tour of Nizwa you will continue on to the cattle market and the souk, famous for its Bedouin silver jewelry.

The drive continues via Tanuf and Bahla to Jabreen, to visit one of Oman's most beautiful forts, famous for its wall and ceiling murals, before returning to your hotel in Muscat.

For our tour, there was only my mum and me, so it felt very personal indeed. Our guide was great, offered interesting knowledge of surrounding areas and was very friendly. We both enjoyed getting out and seeing different parts of Oman and enjoying the Omani hospitality of receiving Coffee and dates after a tour. Would highly recommend this tour.

The actual tour itself was great. the guide Rasheed took great care to give us plenty of time at each stop and unlike other tours I have done in the past he gave just the right amount of information. He was courteous a helpful at all times.

Excellent day! Kind, easy tour guide made our full day of exploring the castle-forts of the Nizwa region an enjoyable experience. The best bargain out there!

Punctual and informative guide and driver made this a trip to remember attentive to our every need and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone interested in Omani history and culture. No detail was too small to share no question left unanswered.

A long hot day was forgotten in the variety of places visited and by the easy way our driver guide imparted his knowledge of the country, history and customs. The experience opened us up to a country that we had never previously given a lot of attention.
