This is the #view from the top of the tower of #Nizwa Fort, #Oman 🇴🇲. I once interviewed an archaeologist for an article I was working on about the country’s hundreds of towers, castles and forts and he explained about the different design philosophies you can see. This #fort, he said, is in a dreadful defensive position. As a fortification, it is next to worthless. As a show of dominance over the surrounding #town, it’s outstanding. This view from the ramparts really demonstrates that.

We had the best breakfast there

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Wonderful off-road, hiking and camping experience through Jabal Al Akhdar mountain. If you are planning to cross mountains between Rustaq and Nezwa, you must have a very good 4x4, good guide and never drive at night.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Nizwa Fort is interesting but that’s about it - the mountains are the beautiful part.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Modern,tradtional you have the choice to choose, not fear from touristic site and landscaping.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Make sure you rent a 4x4 to access Jabal al Akhdar! And if you want a little indoor relaxation, the shopping center near Carrefour has bowling and archery- not to mention Gloria Jean coffee!
