About this activity

DAY 01-MUSCAT CITY TOUR

The tour begins with a visit to the beautiful Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque one of the largest mosques in the Middle East. Visit the Natural History Museum, exhibiting the wealth of Oman’s history and thus imparting knowledge about the country’s rich culture and traditions to the visitor. Later you drive along the picturesque Corniche to the once walled district Muscat. You will have photo stops at the residence of his Majesty Sultan Qaboos, the Al Alam Palace, which is flanked by the 16th century Portuguese forts Mirani and Jalali. You will be strolling through Muttrah Souq, where you will be bargaining for handicrafts and silver items.

DAY 02-AMAUOGE FACTORY-NIZWA-JABREEN

We start our tour from Amouage Factory it is a nice luxury fragrance house in Oman then we will explore the historic and culturally interesting region of Nizwa. Nizwa is the cultural capital of Oman. Its main places of interest are the Souq and the powerful Fort with its massive Circular Cannon Tower, one of the most impressive forts in Oman.

you proceed for Bahla, one of the oldest small towns of Oman. In the 12th century it was the capital of the tribe living in the region. As the monumental fort is closed for renovation only a photo stop is planned. Bahla is also famous for its pottery and you will visit a potter’s workshop (not possible on Fridays and Public Holidays).

Jabrin Castle built in 17th century is one of the finest of its kind. Its magnificent plasterwork, the carved doors and the painted wooden beams of the ceilings makes this castle amazingly different.

Return to Muscat in the late afternoon. Evening at leisure. Overnight stay at hotel.
