Full-Day Tour: Nizwa Fort, Barkat Al Mouz & Jebel Akhdar

Explore Nizwa Fort & Souq, Barkat Al Mouz’s UNESCO falaj & ghost village, then ascend Jebel Akhdar for rose gardens, Diana’s Point, terraced farms & villages.
Experience the perfect mix of history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes on this immersive full-day journey from Muscat.

Your day starts with a visit to Nizwa Fort, where you’ll explore the massive round tower and learn about the fort’s role in Omani history. Stroll through the Nizwa Souq, a bustling market offering silver jewelry, dates, spices, and traditional pottery.

Next, stop at Barkat Al Mouz, home to one of the five UNESCO-listed aflaj irrigation systems, Falaj Al Khatmeen, stretching 2.5 km. Here you’ll explore the fascinating ghost village — abandoned houses of straw and mud, silent witnesses to the civil war that shaped modern Oman.

From Barkat Al Mouz, we ascend up the Hajar Mountains to Jebel Akhdar. Known as the "Green Mountain," Jebel Akhdar offers cooler air and stunning terrace farming. Your visit includes:

Rummana: depending on the season, pick pomegranates, figs, or pears, and enjoy cultural workshops or performances at the open-air theatre.

Al Aqar Village: wander through stone houses and falaj channels with sweeping views.

Al Ain Steps: a scenic pathway offering incredible photo opportunities.

Rose Water Plant Garden (March–May) : witness the rose harvest and traditional distillation process.

Visit Diana’s Point, named after Princess Diana, for spectacular photo opportunities over the canyon.

WN Café: relax with coffee or tea while taking in breathtaking mountain views.

A traditional Omani lunch is served during the day, giving you a taste of local hospitality. After enjoying the mountain scenery, return to Muscat in the evening with a deeper appreciation of Oman’s heritage and natural beauty.
