Wadi & Forts
2 Days / 1 Night
D A Y 1 – A MUSCAT – BARKA FISH MARKET – WADI BANI AWF – AL HAMRA – NIZWA
Departing from Muscat, we reach Barka where fishermen bring and sell their
catch. Many varieties of fish can be seen here: tuna, prawns, king fish and many
others.
From here begins the off-road crossing of Wadi Bani Awf, a spectacular
mountain road. Visit the village of Al Hamra, one of the best-preserved historical
centres in the country. Wander among the old abandoned buildings and mud
houses. Overnight stay in Nizwa.
D A Y 2 – NIZWA / BAHLA / JABRIN / MUSCAT
Today, we visit the historic Nizwa fort and the Souq, where traditional handmade
silver jewellery and daggers (Khanjars) are sold. Continue to Bahla for a photo
stop at the huge clay fort. Finally, Jabrin Castle, the finest fort in Oman, with its
richly decorated interior. Return to Muscat.
