Day by day

Day 1: Day 1: Arrival and settling in. Nizwa Fort with its round tower is the anchor of the town. Climb the steps as soon as it gets cooler and let your gaze wander over palms and rooftops. At the hotel on Jabal Akhdar, the evening follows in the mountain air, with a tea after the prayer.

Day 2: Day 2: Culture and prayer breaks. The mud walls of Bahla stand for an oasis town that has survived for centuries. The fort is huge, and a tour takes time and sturdy footwear. In the afternoon it is on to Al Hoota Cave, where a train leads down into the depths and blind fish live in still lakes. For the midday prayer, a break in Bahla is recommended.

Day 3: Day 3: Family day. The sheep market of Nizwa is loud, colourful and lively, and traders lead their animals around in a circle. After that through the old town with silversmiths and incense stalls. In the afternoon the Hoota Cave Adventure, a programme for children and teenagers. Many market stalls serve fresh flatbread with honey, a simple lunch.

Day 4: Day 4: Quiet day. A quiet day. Falaj Daris Park lies on one of the old irrigation channels that have fed Oman's oases for centuries. Families sit in the shade by the water, children splash about, and men pray in the small mosques. Today the fort can simply remain a silhouette on the horizon, without any visit at all.

Day 5: Day 5: Day of discovery. Nizwa bears the title Capital of Islamic Culture. Today it is worth looking at what justifies this title: scholars, mosques, manuscripts. In the late afternoon you climb into the fort once more, now with an open eye for the details of the ramparts and the cannons at the entrance. The muezzin calls from the minaret next door.

Day 6: Day 6: City and cuisine. A second trip to Bahla, this time to the outer area of the oasis, where palm gardens surround the walls. In the afternoon the cave and the sheep market again, depending on the day of the week. The regional cuisine relies on stews with rice and spices, so lunch turns out correspondingly hearty.

Day 7: Day 7: Last day and departure. A last walk through the old town of Nizwa. Silver jewellery, dates and halwa are ready to take away in the souq lanes. The morning prayer in the mosque, a small coffee with cardamom, then the journey to the airport over the mountain road. The road down into the valley passes palm groves and mud houses once more.
