Come with me on my Omani food and attractions tour of Nizwa, Oman! Nizwa is one of the most important tourism locations in Oman. It’s located just 90 minutes southwest of Muscat, which makes it a great day trip. 🌎 MY TRAVEL/FOOD BLOG: https://davidsbeenhere.com/ 👕 DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH: https://teespring.com/stores/davids-been-here My guide Ahmed from Oman Travel and I began our day at Nizwa Fort. It’s a shining example of Omani architecture and is unique due to its massive cylindrical defense tower. It’s part castle, part fort, and part museum. It costs 5 OMR for tourists and 2 OMR for locals to enter. Building materials included mud, rocks, and later, cement. Inside, we saw a well and several woman making crafts. We saw a cross section of the tower showing the stairways, dungeons, and more. They used to drop hot oil on invaders through holes in the floor. There are also traps set into the floor and others that come down from the ceiling. At the top of the tower, we saw the city, the souq, a nearby mosque, and the mountains beyond. Further on were student accommodations and a guestroom with beautiful carpets, bookshelves, and pillows. Outside was a woman making a flatbread called rakhal by rolling a ball of dough around on the surface of a hot griddle. They add eggs, sour cream, and honey to it. It was paper thin, hot, crispy, rich, savory, and sweet! It cost us a little over $1. From there, we walked toward the souq. Outside it, we saw shops selling jewelry, including lots of silver charms, bangles, daggers, pendants, lamps, and more at Silver City. I bought two camel charmsfor my daughters for $16 USD—he gave me a deal. Outside were handmade incense holders and water jugs. I loved the different types of pottery! We entered the official souq and saw vendors selling hats, pottery, ornaments, and more. There was so much pottery, and they were all different sizes! In another shop, I saw some amazing handmade daggers, including an elaborate silver one for $700 USD! He also made an amazing silver sword. Next was the halwa market. At Saud Al Subhi Sons, they had samples of camel milk, brown sugar, frankincense, saffron, and special halwas! The camel milk was sweet and heavenly, the frankincense was nutty, and the special was my favorite! I washed it down with come coffee with saffron, cardamom, and rose. The friendly vendor gave me a gift before I left. Elsewhere, we met vendors selling honey; coffee; halwa; and a delicious Omani version of Nutella with black pepper, honey, and cardamom. Then, we headed to Al Saifi for their special halwas. Their walnut was soft and flavorful, while the date syrup halwa was stickier. The fig contained seeds and was really good, but the honey was the best! After coffee, we went to Nizwa Al-Khair Restaurant. They had camel meat with bones in rich gravy, chicken, biryani, tuna, and kabuli. I went with kabuli with camel meat and some lamb. They gave us a salad with arugula, tomatoes, onions, and chilies. The camel was gamy and lean but super tasty. I loved the rice with chickpeas and onions. I loved mixing the salad and sauces into the rice and camel. The lamb was also insane and fatty, and I liked the biryani, too. Everything came to about $15 USD. We finished with karak, and then we headed to Harat Al Siybani, an abandoned mud village in the Old City. It’s made up of roughly 50 abandoned and crumbling mud buildings on a hill. There’s an irrigation canal with fish and tight passages and staircases between the homes. We hiked to the top of the village and got some amazing views of the city! Where have you been?
