Overview
North Oman boasts a string of mud-brick late-medieval forts, but visiting them independently means renting a 4x4 or negotiating with cabs. This full-day tour from Muscat eliminates the fuss: with trips to Nizwa and Jabreen Forts—two of Oman’s best-preserved. Explore Nizwa Souk and admire its fort exterior before roaming 17th-century Jabreen, replete with Moorish arches and turrets. Return transport, Jabreen admission, and lunch in Bahla is included.
- See Nizwa and Jabreen Forts, and places such as Bahla, in a day from Muscat
- Swap cabs and car hire for air-conditioned return travel with audio-guiding
- View Nizwa Souk and its fort exterior, and explore inside Jabreen Fort
- Relax with lunch, Jabreen entry, and hotel pickup and drop-off included

Memorable for the wrong reasons

Firstly. the driver Nasseem was very amicable and drove safely. However, this tour wasn't what it was advertised as. The pick up in the morning was laborious and tiring. It seemed to take a long time to get to Nizwa with smaller maybe unnecessary stops along the way. When we got to Nizwa, the Souqs were closing and some of them closed already and there isn't much else to see. We did not visit Nizwa fort.....the lunch meal included in the price was okay but not typically Omani. We went to Jabeel fort which I thought was beautiful. The Omani landscape is impressive throughout the drive but this was a very disappointing day trip unfortunately and quite expensive to boot!

Nizwa, worth the effort

Pick-up 8am to 8.30am
Prompt, at 8am
Only one other passenger, Enoch from HK.
Whilst filling up with petrol, some random Omani guy clambered on board and he and the driver spoke loudly in Arabic. Almost drowning out the English audio. Turns out he's a tourguide in training. We should have been told.
Good infrastructure in Oman. Dual carriageway through the mountains.
First stop, walked up an incline to view a palm tree grove and abandoned 500yo village. Present day village name translates to "The Cool of the Bananas". Some Zanzibar architectural influences.

One hour in Nizwa. "No time to see the Fort (5 rials), yet there is always too much time for coffee, food-tasting and the set lunch !
Lunch was far too much food, which we wasted.
I realise that the two drivers needed a break
JABREEN CASTLE
BAHLA CASTLE
Bahla was home to the "Djinns" (Genies).
A beautiful day ended in a rainy drive back to Muscat.

Best experience I've ever had

Hi
Thank you very much. It was an excellent adventure, from beginning to end. From the moment we were picked up by Illyas, our lovely Omani tour guide, and Dymitris, our lovely Ukrainian tour guide. The entire experience was phenomenal because of the Omani hospitality demonstrated by our guides. Their gentle demenours and accommodating natures put us immediately at ease and we thoroughly enjoyed being in their calming presence throughout the journey. I even went swimming in the Wadi Shab cave, which I never thought that I would do. But thanks to Dymitris' skills and professionalism, I felt confident and reached beyond my comfort zone.

un long parcours en bus pour un tour au souk et la visite d'un fort
Paul_L
, Feb 2020
Cette excursion s'est avérée assez décevante, la repartition entre temps de transport et temps de visite étant par trop disproportionnée. Nous avons été pris en charge à l 'hôtel Radisson Blu (à l 'oust de Mascate) à 08h15 et le chauffeur nous a ensuite promenés jusqu'à l'extrême est de Mascate, au Shangri-La, pour prendre deux personnes, puis a fait escale au port de Mutrah pour récupérer 6 personnes à l 'arrive d'un bateau de croisière. L 'arrêt s'est prolongé car le chauffeur attendait les passagers à la descente du bateau alors qu 'ils s'étaient dirigés vers notre minibus. Finalement le chauffeur est revenu vers le bus et nous avons pu repartir, le minibus étant alors plein. Il a fallu ensuite s'arrêter pour permettre aux passagers d'aller aux toilettes, ce qui fait que nous sommes repasses à proximité de notre hotel vers 10h00 (!) en direction de Nizwa. Après un court arrêt à Birkat al Mawz pour prendre des photos du village, puis in arrêt au Golden Tulip pour permettre aux passagers d'aller aux toilettes, nous sommes finalement arrives au souk de Nizwa vers 11h25 pour un arrêt d'une heure. Heureusement le chauffeur nous a indiqué où prendre un excellent expresso Illy, ce qui nous a permis une pause réparatrice. Nous étant enquis dans une boutique de l 'origine des bibelots exposés, il nous a été répondu qu 'il venaient de Chine, ce qui ne nous a pas vraiment motivés pour un achat. Comme le souk ferme à 13hoo et que nous devions attendre jusqu'à 13h25 pour repartir, certains des passagers en ont profité pour se plaindre au chauffeur, constatant qu 'ils avaient passé 5h dans le bus pour n'avoir encore rien vu d'intéressant, hormis le paysage le long de l 'autoroute. Comme de surplus la visite du fort de Nizwa n'est pas incluse et que le fort ferme à 13h00, il n'y avaiy plus qu'à attendre sagement le déjeuner, qui s'est tenu dans un établissement dénommé barbecue et don't on ne peut pas dire qu'il s'agisse de haute gastronomie. Au moins nous avons pu discuter entre passagers d'origine diverses et les experiences échangées sont finalement ce que nous retiendrons de mieux de ce repas. Enfin, nous fîmes route vers Jabreen, oú nous pûmes déambuler à notre guide dans tous les recoins du fort pendant trois quarts d'heure. Le site est intéressant et les passagers ont pu se photographier à coeur joie sur les plateformes crénelées. Les explications figurant dans les différentes pieces sont toutefois assez lapidaires et l'ameublement relativement limité. Les plafonds décorés valent néanmoins le detour. Ensuite nous avons fait un arrêt d'un quart d'heure au fort de Bahla, don't la visite n 'est pas incluse dans le tour. Le fort vu de l 'extérieur autorise cependant de belles photos.
Le retour s'est ensuite déroulé sans encombre jusqu'à l 'approche de Mascate où nous avons alors rencontré un embouteillage au rond-point de l 'Horloge puis à l 'approche de l 'hotel Ibis où séjournaient d'autres passagers. Nous fûmes enfin endus à destination au Radisson vers 19h10, soit une longue journée de transport. En ce qui concerne les commentaires de l 'audioguide, ils n'avaient pas été mis à jour et parlaient encore du sultan Qabous comme le sultan regnant, alors qu'il était décédé depuis plus d'un mois. Par ailleurs, les informations données étaient intéressantes, comme par exemple le transport du lait d'Argentine en tankers réfrigérés pour alimenter la péninsule arabique, en raison de l 'absence de troupeaux de vaches en Oman. On aurait pu s'attendre à se voir remettre au depart une bouteille d'eau fraiche par passage mais ce n'est pas inclus dans le tour. Un des passagers a donc pris l initiative d'en acheter pour tout le minibus, ce qui a été très apprécié. voilà donc le résumé de notre journée. Le tour pourrait être amélioré en optimisant le parcours de prise en charge, en incluant la visite du fort de Nizwa, en fournissant une brochure sur les lieux visités, en prévoyant un déjeuner buffet de bon niveau et en fournissant une bouteile d'eau au départ.
