Discover Oman's renowned Nakhl Fortress on a tour from Muscat. Immerse yourself in pre-Islamic history and enjoy a dip in thermal spring waters.

Tour Highlights: Muscat to Nakhl

The tour begins with pickup from your hotel in Muscat, followed by a scenic one-hour drive northwest to Nakhl, located in the Al Batinah region.

Upon arrival, we visit the largest fortress in Oman, built in the 17th century. It is set on a rocky surface and features a pre-Islamic architectural style influenced by the Al Ya'ruba and Al Bu Sayed dynasties. From the fortress, enjoy panoramic views of Nakhl and its landscape.

Next, we will explore a hidden spring behind the castle, situated in a palm grove. This area features thermal waters that supply essential minerals to local plantations.

On our return to Muscat, we stop by the Seeb souk and Avenue Mall for shopping opportunities in the capital.
