Nizwa fort tour - We utilized Nizwa tourism carts to explore Alaqar Village and gain insights into the area. Omar served as our driver, offering profound knowledge and engaging conversation. Our experience included learning about the region's history, culture, and receiving valuable advice for future trips, as we were visiting Oman for the first time.
