Just next to the city's famous fort, you'll find the heart of Nizwa's daily life at the Central Souq. Lose yourself in the maze of alleyways where the air is fragrant with spices and frankincense. You can watch local artisans at work, sample a wonderful variety of dates, and find unique handmade pottery and silver jewelry. For a truly unforgettable experience, visit on a Friday morning to witness the lively and ancient tradition of the goat market, a spectacle of sights and sounds that has gone on for centuries.
