We start in the morning at 9 am to drive to the historic town of Nizwa, Oman’s cultural capital.

Our first sop will be the charming ancestral village of BIRKAT AL MAWZ at the bottom of the GREEN mountain, JEBEL AKHDAR. We will then head to visit the beautiful Nizwa center with its Fort ( outside visit ) and its massive circular cannon Tower, making it one of the most impressive forts in Oman. We will walk through the traditional Nizwa Souq. Lunch in a local restaurant. After lunch we will proceed to the Jabreen Fort.

The Jabrin Castle, built in 17th century , is one of the finest of its kind. Its magnificent plaster-work, the carved doors and the painted wooden beams of the ceilings makes this castle amazingly different.
