Description

**Embark on a Memorable Omani Adventure: Jebel Akhdar, Nizwa & Birkat Al Mouz** Join your local guide, as we begin an unforgettable journey from Muscat into the heart of Oman’s breathtaking landscapes. Our first stop is Nizwa, once Oman’s capital, where we’ll explore the grand Nizwa Fort—a true marvel of Omani architecture—and uncover its rich history. Next, we’ll wander through the bustling Nizwa Souq, known for its traditional crafts, silver jewelry, fresh produce, and local delights like dates and Omani Halwa, offering a vibrant glimpse into Omani life. We’ll then head towards Jebel Akhdar, the ‘Green Mountain,’ standing over 2,000 meters above sea level. Famous for its terraced fields, the area is lush with roses, pomegranates, and other fruits. As we navigate the winding mountain roads, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of rugged canyons and verdant valleys. You’ll even get the chance to explore the unique agricultural practices of this fertile region that have been passed down for generations. Next, we’ll visit Birkat Al Mouz, a picturesque village at the foot of Jebel Akhdar. Here, you’ll discover the ancient falaj irrigation system, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which has been nourishing the village for centuries. Stroll through the tranquil village, surrounded by mud-brick houses and date palm groves, and gain insight into rural Omani life.
