NIZWA FORT – NIZWA SOUQ – BIRKAT AL MOUZ OLD VILLAGE – THE IRRAGATION SYSTEM OF AL KATTMYN – JEBEL AKHDAR
We depart Muscat to Nizwa, the old capital of Oman. Visit to the famous Nizwa Fortress. Today, the fort is a museum that showcases the history of the fort and surrounding area. Walking through the fortress you get to see amazing views of the ancient town and the nearby mountains. This impressive fortress was a base used in the military to hold off the hardest attacks and sieges. Next to the fortress is the large Nizwa Souq, a local marketplace that offers a variety of goods including jewelry, pottery, fish, and meats. The list goes on! After, we drive to the foot of Jebel Akhdar, an old village called Birkat Al Mauz, and then after visit the Irrigation System of Al Kattmyn, one of the 5 irrigation system heritage by UNESCO. From there, we go up to Jebel Akhdar. Also known as the Green Mountain, Jebel Akhdar houses many fruit plantations and rose gardens. Take the time to walk through the hills and cherish the valley views. There is a lot of Jebel Akhdar to offer, then drive back to Muscat.
