Your itinerary

  • Meeting point

    Muscat
  • Nizwa Souq (market)

    Browse stunning handmade cultural items, local silver designs or local customs.
  • Nizwa Fort

    Nizwa fort is a fortification that took over 12 years to build during the 17th century and was a significant asset to the Yarubid dynasty. Why an asset? because the sole purpose of this construction was to protect the natation-state from aggressors in order to safeguard the people’s wealth as well as strategic trade routes.
  • Oman Across the ages museume

    Oman Across Ages is a new national museum that celebrates the creation of a nation, praise human endeavour and inspire young Omanis to connect to their rich history. The project has been many years in the making and is the vision of the late His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said al Said. Oman Across Ages is a museum in two parts; the history of Oman up to 1970 and the 50-year renaissance that followed under the reign of the late Sultan Qaboos. The museum is of epic proportions and forms a unique legacy built to inspire the next generation. Squint/Opera produced over 50 media installations ranging from ultra-large format film and animation, interactive content and VR. Over the course of five years, we collaborated with Omanis to elevate their rich stories into experiences which will inspire generations to come.
