2. This tour takes you first to Nizwa, the old capital of Oman. The Nizwa Souq is among the largest of its kind in the country. A wide variety of vendors offer their goods in the streets of the souk from 05:00 am to about 10:00 am each morning. Here you can find fish, meat, vegetables, pottery, jewellery, handicrafts and souvenirs which are sold in authentic old market halls that few places can boast. Especially interesting is the Friday cattle market, when the locals from the nearby villages come to sell their donkeys, goats, cattle, sheep and chickens in a circus style open market place.

You can walk around in this impressive fortress and visit its many rooms, passages and towers. The fort is an architectural testimony to the economic and military achievements of the early Yaruba dynasty from the mid-17th century. It was a military stronghold designed to withstand even the strongest of attacks at the time. Even along the corridors, many traps were laid to deter any intruders that might have penetrated the defences.

About Mascate

Mascate, capitale d'Oman, s'étire entre montagnes arides et golfe d'Oman : grande mosquée, vieux forts, souks et gracieuse corniche.

La Grande Mosquée du sultan Qabous est le fleuron de la ville, avec une vaste salle de prière, un énorme tapis tissé à la main et un lustre en cristal, au milieu de cours de marbre. Dans le vieux Mascate, le coloré palais d'Al Alam est flanqué des forts de Jalali et de Mirani, de l'époque portugaise, perchés sur des rochers au-dessus du port.
