This tour provides a good insight into Omani history and glorious heritage.

The tour starts with the powerful Fort with its massive Circular Cannon Tower and imagines life inside the Fort in the 17th century, one of the most impressive forts in Oman, and the traditional Souq. Previously restored, each Fort has its own story. They were first built for military defence but were also used for social and community gatherings. Before reaching Nizwa, which was once the capital of Oman, go through the traditional and craft Souk where you can buy some souvenirs before visiting the Fort of Nizwa.

Then proceed with the tour to Jebel Shams. Along the road, Wadi Nakhar, a narrow canyon. It is a stunning, beautiful place, and is geologically spectacular, being one of the deepest canyons on the planet. Go deep inside to visit the village where the main activity is weaving, especially Omani rugs… Your journey continues to the top of Jebel Shams, “Sun Mountain,” Oman’s highest peak, 3009 m…. get a spectacular view of the “Grand Canyon.”

Head back to Muscat.
