Nizwa is a must-visit destination in Oman.

Many girls travel to Oman just for the photo spot in the first picture. This is Nizwa Fort. The ancient fortresses of Oman, represented by Nizwa Fort, are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although Oman is not large, it is known as the "Kingdom of Fortresses." Almost every town has one. But the core of it is definitely Nizwa, deep inland, which is more than 200 kilometers southwest of Muscat, making most tourists hesitate. But in fact, Nizwa can be said to be a model of an ancient city in West Asia. For nearly a thousand years, it has been the capital of the Sultanate of Oman until it was replaced by Muscat in the 18th century. This city is not big, but many traditional Omani buildings are well preserved. The earthen-colored castle buildings, tall date palms, and trickling streams give this city a classical charm. The fusion of ancient castles and modern buildings can be seen almost everywhere. 🌟Nizwa has two world heritage sites: one is the ancient fortresses of Oman, represented by Nizwa Fort. The other world heritage site is the famous "Karez." ✅Nizwa Fort has a square outer city and a round main city. The outer castle wall is about seven or eight meters high and consists of several square courtyards, but each courtyard is not on the same plane, and there is a height difference. They are connected by narrow stairs or archways. The houses on each floor are stacked, and the tops are all wavy crenels, which are very beautiful for taking pictures. This place has almost become the cover of tourism in Oman. The main castle is a very rare cylindrical shape, and the circular wall is more than 20 meters high. You need to enter through a very narrow door and rotate up along the narrow stairs. In ancient times, it was also a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. The central area of the castle is a circular courtyard, with observation holes and cast iron gun ports in all directions. From here, you have to climb the steps along the wall to reach the crenel, which should be prepared for the observers. There will be regular local war dance performances at the gate of the castle. Actors in traditional white robes will sing and dance with weapons to the beat of the drums. Although I don't understand it, it is quite interesting. ✅Karez is a small park with groundwater. Although clear and cool streams are indeed rare in such a hot and dry place, it is very boring for tourists. Nizwa is not big. It is only a few kilometers from Karez Park to the century-old buildings and back to Nizwa Castle, where tourists gather. But it is really too hot to walk. There are not many taxis, so it is really necessary to install a local taxi app.
