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
Our adventure begins with a pickup from your hotel in Muscat, followed by a scenic hour-long drive northwest to Nakhl, a village in the Al Batinah region.
Upon arrival, we visit the largest fortress in Oman, built in the 17th century. The fortress features a pre-Islamic architectural style influenced by the Al Ya'ruba and Al Bu Sayed dynasties. From the summit, you can enjoy expansive views of Nakhl and its surroundings.
Next, we explore the hidden spring behind the castle, surrounded by a palm grove and providing thermal waters that enrich the local plantations with essential minerals.
On the return to Muscat along the coastal route, we will stop at the Seeb souk and Avenue Mall for shopping opportunities in the capital.
This four-hour tour concludes with a drop-off back at your hotel in Muscat.
