Breakfast at Hotel
Travel to Nizwa-Jebel Akhdar from Muscat, heading into the interior toward the historic city of Nizwa. Explore the formidable Nizwa Fort, a massive 17th-century fortress built to guard this former capital of Oman. Nearby lies the Nizwa Souq, where vibrant stalls offer silver jewelry, pottery, spices, and local handicrafts. From there, you’ll continue to Birkat Al Mouz, a serene village on the edge of Jebel Akhdar. Here, you’ll wander through the remains of an ancient settlement and admire the traditional falaj irrigation channels — a UNESCO-recognized heritage system. Ascending into the mountains, you’ll reach Jebel Akhdar, known as the famed “Green Mountain”. Its terraced orchards of roses, pomegranates, apricots, and walnuts cling to the slopes, nourished by the region’s unique microclimate. From sweeping viewpoints, you’ll look out over deep valleys and rural landscapes that reflect Oman’s rich natural beauty. Lunch is included. After this immersive experience of culture, tradition, and scenery, you’ll return to Muscat, bringing your enriching circle to a fitting close.
