No. 5 of Best Things to Do in Oman

Nizwa Fort

Nizwa Fort was built in 1668 in the center of the old city of Nizwa. It was originally constructed as a sturdy defensive fortress, and it is said that seven defensive mechanisms were set inside to fend off enemies. In fact, there are many such ancient castles in Oman, and Nizwa Fort is one of the oldest and largest, having been well restored in recent years. Inside the castle, there is a museum that showcases the history of Oman and the lives of the local people. The castle features various hidden rooms, chambers, and battlements, with storage rooms, prayer rooms, dungeons, and kitchens still retaining their original appearance, reflecting a strong Arabian style. The fortress also has a tower. From the top, you can see an endless palm grove that looks like an ocean.

Nizwa Central Souq

Nizwa Central Souq is an ancient open-air market just a few steps away from Nizwa Fort. The exterior features traditional Omani architecture, while the interior is very modern and clean, selling fruits, vegetables, meat, and daily necessities. Every Friday, farmers from the surrounding areas bring their livestock, such as goats, camels, and sheep, to the souq to buy or sell. You will see men wearing robes and round caps gathered in sheds where sheep and goats are penned in circles, and bidders can take the livestock home. Here you can buy souvenirs such as gold, silver, and antiques, and you can even find frankincense. Compared to the souqs in the capital, this place is more rustic and authentic, without the feel of commercial tourism.
