Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common questions travelers ask before visiting.

Visit the fort in early morning to avoid crowds, then explore the souk in late afternoon. The souk is most vibrant on Friday mornings during the livestock market.

Shared taxis and buses operate regularly from Muscat to Nizwa, taking about 1.5 to 2 hours. Car rentals offer more flexibility for exploring surrounding mountain areas.

Omani khanjars, traditional pottery, frankincense, and hand-woven textiles are authentic local products. Negotiate prices at the souk, as haggling is customary and expected.
