Description

Begin your journey with a late-afternoon departure from Muscat, traveling through rugged landscapes bathed in warm, fading light. Your first stop in Nizwa is the iconic fort, where you’ll stroll its outer grounds and admire panoramic views of the old town as dusk settles. Continue on to the historic souq, now peacefully lit by lanterns, where artisans quietly present their silver jewelry, woven baskets, and aromatic spices. Immerse yourself in the gentle evening rhythms, then take a seat in a traditional eatery to savor authentic Omani dishes—tender slow-cooked meats, fragrant rice, and sweet halwa—accompanied by robust, spiced coffee. After your meal, choose one of two options: return to Muscat under a starry desert sky, reflecting on the timeless elegance and cultural richness you’ve encountered, or extend your experience by spending the night in a charming, old-fashioned boutique hotel. Awake to the soft morning light revealing Nizwa’s tranquil streets and watch the fort and market spring back to life, allowing you to appreciate the city’s layered history from dusk to dawn.
