About Nizwa
This ancient Omani fort town rises from the date palm oasis at Nizwa's heart, where the Friday livestock souk creates one of Arabia's most authentic markets. Silver-hilted ceremonial daggers trade hands, their craftsmanship unmatched in the region. The town pulses with Omani tradition, where falconry and pearl trading built the sultanate's wealth.
