OMAN HOLIDAYS mountain exploration
OMAN HOLIDAY

OMAN Holiday can help you enjoy Nizwa and other areas of Oman Northern Mountains which are dramatic, reaching over 3000meters above sea level. They form the heartland of northern Oman geographically, physically and socially. The slopes can be intimidating in their steepness but here and there access routes allow OMAN Holiday to provide you with a chance to stroll through a souq or walk in a Wadi in this region.

Set around the base of these mountains are some of the most historically important locations in the country.

The UNESCO World Heritage site of Bat, with its graves and buildings dating back almost 5,000 years, was flourishing at a time when Oman was a key player in the ancient world’s trade.

The ancient towns of Bahla, Nizwa, Rustaq and Nakhl overlooked by both mountain and forts have attractions like bustling goat auctions; traditional potteries and popular hot water springs. Tours to many of these towns can be provided by OMAN Holiday as a single day excursion or included in a more in-depth several day tour.
 
OMAN HOLIDAY
Perhaps the most delightful places in these mountains can be found in the small villages of the plateau and slopes. These are places where the skilled use of water has enabled the villagers to create small oasis with fruits and crops often set in dramatic surroundings. Visit these places with OMAN Holiday and enjoy the scenery while taking a sometimes energetic walk.
 
OMAN HOLIDAY
On the edge of this mountainous region small towns are active hubs for the Bedouin of the desert. Sinaw and Ibra (both set between the desert and mountains) have a once a week souq (market) that is as attractive to a visitor as to a resident. Bustling with activity as traders sell their products and villagers engage in gossip with friends these interesting towns can be included by OMAN Holiday as part of a several day tour.
