You will enjoy an open vendor market at the Nizwa Souq, before seeing the Nizwa forts and museum. Next, your learned guide will present the spectacular views of Wadis from the Grand Canyon. This full-day excursion is perfect for families, photographers, or solo travelers interested in a private Muscat tour.

Start this extravagant adventure when your driver picks you up for your private tour. He will take you directly to Nizwa where you will get to roam around one of the largest markets of its kind. The Nizwa Souq is filled with fabulous vendors, selling everything from meat and vegetables to coffee and handicrafts.

This is an ideal place for shopping and you might be tempted to get some souvenirs here as well! Arrive on a 5 and the souq will be showcasing its circus-styled cattle venue. Local villagers bring their cattle, sheep, goats, and chickens to sell, making it a perfect way to experience the heritage. After shopping and exploring the souq, you'll have a tour of the nearby museum.

This museum was once the Nizwa Fortress and now offers visitors the chance to enjoy the lovely views from the towers. Roam around the many rooms inside as you get a feel for the strength this architectural masterpiece exudes. The Nizwa Fortress is symbolic of the economic achievements of the early Yoruba dynasty. To ensure their safety, even the corridors were lined with traps to deter intruders that might have broken through.

Then visit one of the oldest villages, Al Hamra before driving onto Jebel Shams Resort. This luxurious resort offers a picturesque rest area for you to unwind. Walk around the area as the breathtaking mountain views surround you. From the Grand Canyon of Oman, you will see the valley and Wadis.
