Discover the Charms of Oman with Moon Tours Om's Four Days Tour

Nizwa Souq (market) will be visited, where a wide variety of vendors sell their goods in the streets, where you can find a variety of items, including vegetables, pottery, jewellery, handicrafts, Omani sweets (Halwa), dates spice, and souvenirs, all of which are available in authentic old market halls. A particularly interesting Friday cattle market takes place when locals from nearby villages sell goats, cattle, sheep, and chickens in a circus-style open market.

Next to the Souq is Oman Fortress, a museum and fortification that displays views of this ancient town and its encompassing mountains. Walking around the impressive structure, one can explore its many chambers, corridors and towers, which form an architectural testament to the economic and military achievements of the early Yaruba dynasty from the mid-17th century. Built to withstand powerful assaults, it contained traps along its passages as a deterrent against intruders.

In the afternoon, we make our way to our desert camp in the Wahiba Sands, previously known as Al Sharqiya Sands. This grand desert has a coverage of 12,500 Square K.M across the northern and southern Governorates of Oman’s Eastern Region with a boundary spanning 180 K.M (110 mi) from north to south and 80 KM (50 mi) east to west. Then it’s time for adventure! 4×4 sand dune drives here are unparalleled and there can be no sight more beautiful than the setting sun on one of the tallest dunes. To finish off your day in bliss, dinner awaits you at the camp before you close off with a peaceful evening.
