Muscat to Nizwa via Wadi Bani Auf

This morning depart Muscat by 4WD and visit the fish market and souk in Barka. The drive continues along the Batinah plain. Pass on picturesque wadis to reach the oasis of Nakhl and take the turn off to Wadi Bani Auf. This is a very unique drive through the sedimentary mountains. If you would like there is a wonderful canyon to explore on foot. The route through the mountains is dramatic. Bilad Sayt is one of Oman's most quaint villages with an old world appeal. Explore this tranquil village on foot with its patchwork of terrace farming and traditional houses laid out against the rocky slopes. The route winds through mountains all the way unto the village of Al Hamra characterized by its mud houses and date plantations. Continue on to Nizwa, boasting its Round Tower Fort, built in the 17th century and its Souq renowned for its Friday cattle auction (only on Fridays) intricately hand-carved "khanjars" (daggers); ornamental silver jewellery (time permitting, alternatively the visit may be moved to day 4 or 5).
