Things to see in Oman: Nizwa
Once the capital of Oman and still the cultural centre, Nizwa has played a key role in the history of the country. It is well worth visiting the impressive fort and it's attached museum gives an excellent insight to both the area and the country. This city is also your gateway to the Green Mountains of Jebal Akhdar and the breathtaking Grand Canyon - each an ideal day trip with great views, some walking, village visits and a picnic lunch.
