At 9 am you'll start your journey to the historic town of Nizwa, Oman’s cultural capital. Your first stop will be the charming ancestral village of Birkat Al Mawz at the bottom of the green mountain, Jebel Akhdar. You will then head to explore the beautiful Nizwa center and admire the exterior of its fort and the massive circular Cannon Tower, making it one of the most impressive forts in Oman.
You will walk through the traditional Nizwa souq and have lunch in a local restaurant. After lunch, you will proceed to the Jabreen Fort. The Jabrin Castle, built in the 17th century, is one of the finest of its kind. Its magnificent plasterwork, the carved doors and the painted wooden beams of the ceilings make this castle amazingly different.
After visiting the Jabrin Castle, on your way back to Nizwa downtown, you'll drive past Jebel Sham – one of the most famous mountains in Oman – and see one of the oldest small towns of Oman, Bahla, with its fort (outside visit). From there you will travel smoothly to Muscat after a long day!
