1 Day Culture Itinerary
One day may not feel long to experience everything Oman has to offer but with some careful planning and clever selections you can certainly make the most of every minute.
Day 1
Nizwa
Nizwa is a city brimming with culture and heritage. The souq is known for its silverware and pottery, but it is on Friday’s that the whole region seems to gather here for the weekly animal market. The fort with its large circular tower is visible from afar – and a good landmark to keep looking out for when exploring the old part of Nizwa just behind the souq.
It is an old village located on a slope of Al Jebel Al Akhdar and includes a meeting room "Majlis" and a number of mud houses.

A beautiful view of the Wadi Ghul,
Jebel Shams is most known for its beautiful view of the Wadi Ghul, that lays deep below it. The wadi is an attraction in its own right, leading through a number of traditional villages that can only be accessed by 4WD.
Wadi Ghul is an abandoned village, located to the northwest of Al Hamra in Oman. The area is referred to as the "Omani Grand Canyon" or "The Grand Canyon of Arabia". It is near Jebel Shams, the highest mountain peak in Oman.
