Why this trip
On Friday mornings in Nizwa, traders and buyers gather for the livestock market, and the fort from the 17th century looks on. The town at the foot of the mountains is the tradition-rich heart of Oman, a place where everyday life and craft remain visible. Nizwa Fort with its mighty round tower is the landmark and for families with children an adventure, and the souq next to it sells silver, frankincense and dates. In the Old Town and in Harat Al Aqar you see old mud-brick houses, the Falaj Daris Park offers shade, and the Hoota Cave Adventure is an excursion underground.
Nizwa was honoured as a capital of Islamic culture. From the hotel list come Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort and Alila Jabal Akhdar, though both lie up on the mountain. The time between October and March is the best. Jabal Akhdar, Muscat, Musandam and Salalah are the neighbours.
Without a rental car you only get so far in Oman, which is why a driver is worthwhile. If you want to see the livestock market, plan the journey for the day before, so that Friday does not begin with travel time at dawn.
