Highlights

Amouage Perfumery - Amouage is a renowned perfume house celebrated for creating some of the world’s most exquisitely crafted fragrances. Founded in 1983 by the Albusaidi family in the Sultanate of Oman as ‘The Gift of Kings,’ the house has revolutionized Arabian perfumery by merging innovative modernity with authentic artistry. Sayyid Khalid, who succeeded his brother Sayyid Badr in 2003, currently chairs the board.

Nizwa Fort Oman - Constructed in the 1650s by the second Ya’rubi, Imam Sultan Bin Saif Al Ya’rubi, with origins dating back to the 12th century, this fortress is Oman’s most visited national monument. It served as the administrative hub for Imams and Walis during both peace and conflict. Taking approximately 12 years to complete, the fort is built over an underground stream and represents the town’s significance in Oman’s history. It was a formidable defense against invaders seeking Nizwa’s wealth and strategic position.

Famous for its vibrant ambiance, the souq offers a wide array of traditional Omani goods such as handicrafts, pottery, textiles, spices, and silverware.

The souq opens in the morning, offering a cultural and shopping experience, making it a must-visit for those exploring Omani heritage.

Birkat Al Mouz - Birkat Al Mouz, Oman, is famous for its traditional mud brick houses, ancient falaj irrigation system, date palm plantations, and historic Al Ayn Fort.
