Positioned alongside two wadis, Nizwa, the former capital city of Oman, is a fertile sea of green with an oasis of date plantations stretching 8kms from the town. Today, Nizwa is still the largest and most important town in this area of the interior and is noted for its 17th-century fort and atmospheric souks full of silversmiths’ art, especially ornately engraved khanjars. A short drive further takes us to the magnificent to Bahla and Jabrin Castle with its wall and ceiling decorations and secret passageways which is well worth a short visit. Nizwa place is very important for the history of Muscat throughout the new generation of Omani people to preserve the historical places not only Nizwa ad also Jabrin, Bahla.
