Cairo Top Tours representative will pick you up at your hotel to start your wonderful tour to Nizwa and Jebel Akhdar. The tour first takes you to Nizwa, the ancient capital of Oman. Visit the famous souk for 1-hour shopping and round up. The Nizwa souk is one of the largest in the country. A variety of vendors offer their wares in the streets of the souk from 05:00 to about 10:00 every morning. Here you can find pottery, jewelry, handicrafts, and souvenirs sold in authentic old market halls that few places can boast of. Next, a stop will be made at the Nizwa Fortress. The fort is now a museum and offers splendid views of this ancient city and the surrounding mountains. It was a military fortress designed to withstand even the strongest attacks of the time. Even along the corridors, numerous traps were placed to deter any intruder who might penetrate the defenses.
Afterward, drive to the pretty village of Birkat Al Mauz. Enjoy a walk through the lush green date plantations. The journey continues to Wadi al Madeen, from where a 36 km drive along a scenic mountain road takes visitors to Jebel Akhdar (2000 meters above sea level), the green mountain of the Hajar range, a truly unique attraction in the Arabian Peninsula. Jebel Akhdar is famous for its cool, temperate climate and tropical fruit orchards, typically arranged in terraces along the mountain slopes, which are endowed with natural springs and aflaj. The villages of Saiq, Wadi Bani Habib (the village of old houses), the roose village, and Al Ain dot the landscape. The villages overlook a spectacular landscape of breathtaking peaks, gorges, and wadis. After completing your day tour of Muscat, our guide will take you back to your hotel.
