The Oasis City of Nizwa




Today at 7.15 am early in the morning we drove to the oasis city of Nizwa. It is 165km from Muscat. It took about two hour journey from Muscat. We reached there around 9.15am where the city was already crowded with people. We saw many lorry n trucks loaded with cows, goats n sheeps. Every Friday morning in Nizwa, they are having a trading market for these animals.

The place is so busy n bustling with people selling, buying n negotiating these animals. We just love to see the sheep n goat over here. It looks so beautiful that we can’t resist touching it. Later on we strolled around the town.

We visited the souq mostly selling silver jewellery n traditional crafts item. We even went to see the Friday markets which just like our ‘Pasar Tani’ back in Malaysia. They sell cheap fresh vegetables. We left Nizwa at 11.00am to continue to our next destination.
