Weekend Escape to Nizwa, Oman: A Hidden Gem of Culture

If you are looking for a quick getaway in Oman, I highly recommend a weekend in Nizwa, a town steeped in history and charm. I stayed at the Antique Inn, a traditional yet cozy spot located right in the heat of the town. The mix of old-world charm and modern comfort makes it the perfect base for exploring Nizwa. #historicallandmarks #localguides After a peaceful night’s stay, I spent the morning strolling around the town. Nizwa Fort is a must-visit, it offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and a glimpse into Oman’s past. Then, I wandered through the local souq, known for its hand-crafted silverware and pottery. #culturalattractions For lunch, I stopped by a local shawarma restaurant, where the food was delicious and affordable.
