Fantastic tour of Nizwa and Al Hamra - We did tour of Nizwa and Al Hamra on 2 February.Our guide Mohammed came to pick up us to our hotel at precise time.The vehicle was in excellent condition.First we visited Nizwa animal market which was full of frantic buying and selling of different animals like goats,calves, sheep etc Since it was Friday there was heavy rush and it was difficult to get parking place and move freely.At the same place we visited Dates market, pottery markets and fruit and vegetable markets. Our guide Mohammed showed us all places and gave detailed information of each location. Mr Mohammed was very knowledgeable and helpful guide .We enjoyed visiting Nizwa fort and palace and exhibits displayed there.Our visit to Old Al Hamra was very informative. The ground plus three story old house was very interesting.
