Ad Dakhiliyah

Nizwa Fort

Nizwa Fort — Ad Dakhiliyah

Beneath the great round tower — Oman’s most visited monument — a 400-year-old souq still trades in silver khanjars, frankincense, and Friday’s famous goat market.

Stand where imams stood. Haggle where they haggled.

Traveler’s Notes

Come Friday morning for the goat market (from ~7 am). The tower rooftop has the best view of the oasis.
