What you will do:
Positioned
alongside two wadis, Nizwa, the former capital city of Oman,
is a fertile sea of green with an oasis of date plantations
stretching 8kms from the town. Today, Nizwa is still the
largest and most important town in this area of the interior
and is noted for its 17th century fort and
atmospheric souks full of silversmiths’ art, especially
ornately engraved khanjars. A short drive further takes us
to the magnificent Jabrin Castle with its wall and ceiling
decorations and secret passageways which is well worth a
short visit. Following lunch, and en route back to Muscat,
we visit the old village ruins of Tanuf and Bahla.
