The most beautiful castle in Oman, enter the real version of Monument Valley

Nizwa is the largest city in the mountainous interior of Oman and the capital of the former Imam of Oman. In history, there were dynasties that established their own kingdoms here. And built his own castle. Oman is known as the country of a thousand castles. There are more than a dozen ancient castles in the entire ancient city of Nizwa. The ancient castle of Nizwa is the largest and the most complete one. • 【Ascend the fortress】 The fortress is the commanding point of the entire castle. There is an entrance that you can climb up. When you reach the top floor, you will reach the outdoor open-air area☁️ There are three different stairs. When you climb to the top, you can overlook the panoramic view of Nizwa city. The castle oasis is in front of you🐫 In ancient times, sentries would stand here to watch and defend their castle territory. - You can find a suitable location to take photos at the other end of the castle. It looks like the real version of Monument Valley, except the colors are not bright enough. It really feels like being in the game - 【Making pottery】 The pottery industry in Nizwa is also relatively developed. You can make your own pottery in the pottery workshop in the castle and take it home, leaving a wonderful memory. - 【Outdoor Market】 There is also a cultural and creative area inside the castle, which surprised me. The cultural and creative market has a variety of things, including local specialty clothes, Middle Eastern version of crepe pancakes, rings and silver jewelry, and Middle Eastern brown sugar production. Have afternoon tea on the Arabian style carpet, swing on the oasis and ride a camel Various interesting ways to play allow you to not only enjoy the scenery but also experience the local culture in the castle. - 📍NIzwa Fort
