Summary:
We explored Nizwa Souq, Nizwa Fort and Birkat Almouz with Mohammed. An excellent warm insight into the region and its history. Mohammed collected us from our hotel on Jabal Akhdar and we spent 6hours with him which was great value. Our hotel was charging significantly higher for the same excursion.
