  • What a beautiful experience! People were very welcoming and the artifacts are insane. The vintage scene is rich and the locals were trading french old coins in the souq. Amazing.
  • The place and the drive to the place is too awesome! The beauty of the mountains on the way, the roads are just amazing to look at. The market itself is quite big, one can indulge in buying a lot of stuff here ranging from halwa, clothing, dates, food stuff, animals, pottery, etc., Really loved my visit to this place.
  • The main local bazaar in Nizwa where you can buy local and fresh products at reasonable prices. The market is nicely designed and well organized overall. You will find wide range of handcraft and Omani sweet options here. The parking is available for free nearby.
  • Most of the local products you will find it here. It has many sections you can walk around and explore. Amazing market especially in Friday early morning after sunrise.
  • One of the most beautiful spots in the country is the old town of Nizwa which features the local market of handicrafts, jewellery and healthy local produce such as dates, spices and gums. Sweet coffee shops to enjoy the quiet time during the day when business comes to a halt.
