From 5:00 am to around 10:00 am, a diverse array of vendors line the streets, offering fish, meat, vegetables, pottery, jewelry, handicrafts, and souvenirs in charming old market halls.

• Nizwa Fort Oman - Adjacent to the Souq is the Nizwa Fortress, now a museum that provides breathtaking views of the ancient town and surrounding mountains. Visitors can explore the fortress’s impressive rooms, passages, and towers.
