At the market, farmers dressed in dishdashas (flowing white tunics) and kumahs (pill-box hats) lead their often unruly cows, goats and sheep around a ring lined with prospective buyers, all negotiating prices at the tops of their voices. It is fascinating to see, a glimpse of real Omani life, but you need to arrive early as the amrket begins to wind down around 10am.

Day-trip From Muscat

Nizwa can be visited on a day-trip from Muscat, the capital of Oman, which is 110 miles away along a quiet motorway which runs through mountain scenery that becomes more and more rugged and dramatic all the way.

It was the country’s capital for around 400 years from the mid 8th century and became a centre of learning and enlightenment. The current ruling dynasty of Al Busaidi sultans moved the capital permanently to Muscat when they united the country during the 18th century.
