Itinerario
Il sito di uno dei più antichi souq del paese, questo vasto mercato è dedicato principalmente a frutta e verdura, carne e pesce, tutti ospitati in blocchi separati dietro il grande, merlato muro di cinta che si affaccia sul Wadi. Una parte del souq (il più vicino al forte) è dedicata all'artigianato e si rivolge specificamente al commercio turistico di passaggio.
Nizwa Fort - il monumento più frequentato dell'Oman. Il forte è stato costruito quasi 370 anni fa e si basa sul flusso di acqua sottostante. Sicuramente, è uno dei migliori castelli di quel periodo che vale la pena vedere. Poi faremo una visita a Nizwa Souq. Al mercato puoi comprare coltelli tradizionali, pentole e altri oggetti unici.
La montagna più alta dell'Oman, Jebel Shams (Mountain of the Sun; 3009m), è meglio conosciuta non per la sua vetta ma per la vista sullo spettacolare Wadi Ghul che giace al suo fianco. Il Wadi Ghul sul lato dritto è noto localmente come il Grand Canyon d'Arabia, poiché si fende bruscamente tra i bordi del canyon piatto, esponendo scogliere verticali di 1000 me oltre.

Nizwa was good with souq and fort being the main highlights. Jabal Shams was okay if you have already been to high view points. Guide was very helpful and overall trip was comfortable.

Great experience & Ahmed is a wonderful tour guide! He's very friendly, told us all about Oman and answered any and all questions we had. Was a pleasure to spend time with him, and also we had a great group of travelers. The fort is amazing, and so is the souk. The best souk I've ever been to! The top of the mountain offers breathtaking views. Thank you again!

A long day in the car. Castle and markets were interesting. View from the canyon is quite spectacular and the drive up to it is also an experience. Good full day out.

Amazing group!! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and took us to the best places in the city. Lunch was also super nice
Had a fantastic day with Asaad and a couple from France. Another Italian was supposed to come along but he had gone with another group. Left a bit later than planned so we changed the program and went first to Jebel Shams and then to Nizwa. In retrospect, I think much more fun! Asaad spoke good English and told along the way much, very nice! Enjoyed the views at Jebel Shams. Then lunch and to Nizwa Fort & Castle and finally to the souk. Asaad let us taste many local dishes and there was always coffee & dates. Super enjoyed this day 😃
We had the pleasure of visiting Nizwa fort and souk along with Jebel Shams with tour guide Abdullah A. He was warm, knowledgeable and a lot of fun to be with. He informed us about local customs and history which made our experience more meaningful. Nizwa fort was a place to explore Omani culture. The view from Jebel Shams was breath taking. Lunch was a sumptuous shared meal which allowed us to taste various dishes, in keeping with the local tradition. Overall, would highly recommend this tour.
A long day… but worth it. Nizwa is a cool experience. A bit commercial in places, but the old souq and fort are great. The real gem is the canyon. Truly spectacular!
Thank you for sharing your impressions 🌟 We’re glad to hear that, despite the long day, the experience felt worthwhile. Nizwa offers an interesting mix of history and modern life, and it’s great to know you enjoyed the old souq and the fort in particular. You’re absolutely right — the canyon is often the highlight for many travelers. Its scale and scenery are truly spectacular and make the journey especially rewarding. Thank you for choosing GidOman Tours. We hope to welcome you again for another memorable exploration of Oman!
I had a wonderful experience on this tour. As a solo female traveller I was quite nervous but Khalil and the group were wonderful. I was picked up and dropped off to my hotel in a 4x4. There were three other people in the car and they were wonderful. There were plenty of rest breaks given, water was supplied along with refreshments and lunch. Khalil the tour guide kept the group entertained and I really felt the omani hospitality. Nizwa was amazing and I enjoyed jebel shams as well.
