Nizwa is one of the most important cities south of the highest mountain in Oman, Djebel Ash Shams. It is located around the mighty Wadi Tanuf. Tourists are attracted by a huge fortress, old souqs and a mosque. Count on an hour to the city and another to the castle.

The center of the Lowlands

The center of Nizwa is this building. An ideal place, right next to it is an unfilled car park and historic buildings are also just a few tens of meters walk

Wadi Tanuf

Nizwu divides the huge Wadi Tanuf into two halves. The shadow under the bridge of the local highway is used by truck drivers

From the parking lot, the entrance to the old town looks like a nice wall.

Inside the Souqu

We weren't here at a very good time, so it wasn't much here. It must be a completely different experience in the evening

The historic building of Est Souq

The souqu is probably the most beautiful old building
