Glimpse Oman’s swashbuckling past
Swords and daggers are fundamental to Oman's past and culture, and they even have a prominent place on the national flag. Only the well-to-do in Oman wear the khanjar (traditional dagger), but the craftsmanship is prized. The Bait Al Zubair National Museum houses a collection of antique weapons ranging from pearl-embossed straight swords to beautiful blades etched with Koranic passages.

The 'Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque' is an architectural marvel that will leave you speechless. It is one of the world's most magnificent and opulent mosques, and it is definitely worth a visit. The Cattle Auction, which takes place every Friday, is the Souq's main attraction. If you are in Nizwa on a Friday, we strongly advise you to visit. You will also be able to tour the air-conditioned halls of the souq, which are lined with businesses offering everything from fresh fruit and vegetables to herbs and spices and massive piles of dates and freshly caught fish.
