What to expect
Embark on a full-day adventure to explore the cultural and natural wonders of Oman. Begin your journey in Nizwa, one of the country’s oldest and most historically significant cities. Here, you'll visit the impressive Nizwa Fort, known for its massive round tower and rich history dating back to the 17th century. Stroll through the vibrant Nizwa Souk, where you can browse traditional Omani handicrafts, silver jewellery, and local produce, experiencing the vibrant local culture first-hand.
After exploring Nizwa, head to Birkat Al Mouze, a charming village nestled at the base of the mountains. This historic village is famous for its ancient falaj irrigation system, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wander through the lush date plantations and old mud-brick houses, capturing a glimpse of traditional Omani life.
Next, continue your journey to the breathtaking Jebel Akhdar, also known as the "Green Mountain." This part of the Al Hajar mountain range is renowned for its terraced farms, fruit orchards, and rose gardens. As you ascend the mountain, you'll be treated to stunning panoramic views of deep valleys and dramatic cliffs. The cooler climate and lush scenery offer a refreshing contrast to the desert landscape.
During the tour, you'll stop for lunch at a local restaurant, where you can relax and enjoy a meal while taking in the scenic surroundings.
