Visiting Nizwa fort.

Further up the highway some 103km (64km) from Muscat lies the venerable town of Izki % [map]. Once again, the disorienting modern town sprawls for a considerable distance along the highway, with the old town tucked away a few kilometres distant (most easily found if you take the back road to Birkat al Mauz). Here you’ll find the collapsing remains of an impressive old stone fort and the small walled town next door overlooking the broad swathe of Wadi Halfayn. Izki is also home to the Falaj al Malki, said to be the oldest in the country and one of five Omani falaj now protected as a Unesco World Heritage Site.
