Full description

**Embark on a Memorable Omani Adventure: Jebel Akhdar, Nizwa & Birkat Al Mouz**

Join your local guide, as we begin an unforgettable journey from Muscat into the heart of Oman’s breathtaking landscapes. Our first stop is Nizwa, once Oman’s capital, where we’ll explore the grand Nizwa Fort—a true marvel of Omani architecture—and uncover its rich history. Next, we’ll wander through the bustling Nizwa Souq, known for its traditional crafts, silver jewelry, fresh produce, and local delights like dates and Omani Halwa, offering a vibrant glimpse into Omani life.

We’ll then head towards Jebel Akhdar, the ‘Green Mountain,’ standing over 2,000 meters above sea level. Famous for its terraced fields, the area is lush with roses, pomegranates, and other fruits. As we navigate the winding mountain roads, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of rugged canyons and verdant valleys. You’ll even get the chance to explore the unique agricultural practices of this fertile region that have been passed down for generations.

Next, we’ll visit Birkat Al Mouz, a picturesque village at the foot of Jebel Akhdar. Here, you’ll discover the ancient falaj irrigation system, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which has been nourishing the village for centuries. Stroll through the tranquil village, surrounded by mud-brick houses and date palm groves, and gain insight into rural Omani life.

Along the way, I’ll share fascinating stories and cultural insights, offering you an authentic experience. Whether it’s explaining the region’s history, traditions, or hidden gems, I’ll ensure your tour feels personal and enriching. With my fluency in English, Arabic, Omani dialect, and some Hindi, I’m happy to communicate in whichever language you feel most comfortable with.

Lunch will be a delightful treat, with fresh local ingredients and a choice of vegetarian or non-vegetarian options to suit your taste. Throughout the day, I’ll make sure you stay refreshed with plenty of water, ensuring a comfortable experience.

This isn’t just a sightseeing tour—it’s an opportunity to connect with Oman in a way few travelers ever do. Come join me for a journey through Oman’s landscapes, culture, and history, guided by a local who knows the country’s true essence.
