Three pearls of the heart of Oman: Nizwa - Bahla - Jabrin Castle

Private excursion to the ancient capital, legendary city and castle of sages with Russian-speaking guide in Oman

"Oman is not measured in kilometers - it is measured in eras. Every stone here is a page. Every palace is a book. Every oasis is a poem."

🏰 WHY ISN'T IT THREE EXCURSIONS, BUT ONE TRIP?

1. NIZWA (Nizwa) - WHERE THE IMPERIUM BEGAN

"Nizwa is not an item on a list. It's a place that changes the perception of Oman."

It's the former capital. The spiritual center. The heart of commerce. Here:

  • Fort Nizwa - not just a fortress, but a symbol of a nation. Its round tower is like a drum of war and wisdom.
  • Sook - flavors of cardamom, rosewater, frankincense. Hanjar daggers worn as an honor, not as weapons.
  • Falaji - an ancient irrigation system. Water here is not a resource, but a sacred gift.

You'll hear: how the Imams ruled from behind walls, not from palaces. Why a dagger is passed from father to son. Where the "door to the past" is hidden in the bazaar.

2. BAHLA - THE CITY WHICH THE JINNS BUILT

"Bahla is not a tourist decoration. The descendants of those who built the fortress without a single nail still live here."

UNESCO site. A city of legend. A place of power.

  • Bahla Fortress - the greatest earthen citadel in Arabia. 13 kilometers of walls. Grown to the ground.
  • Oasis and pottery workshops - where they create "genie bottles" and "magic clay" amulets.
  • Wishing Tree - people still come to him for advice.

You'll hear: how the desert spirits protected the walls. Why it took 300 years to build. Where to leave a note with the most cherished wish.

3. JABRIN - THE CHATE THAT TALKED TO THE STARS

"This is not a museum. It is a living monument to an era when Oman was ruled by turbaned philosophers."

Residence of imams-scientists. Palace-University.

  • Star Chamber - where the constellations were used to predict crops and fortunes.
  • Murals and secret staircases - every symbol on the ceiling is a message to the heavens.
  • Privy Council Chamber - where the fate of the empire was decided.

You'll hear: how they were treated without scalpels. Why the ayats of the Koran were written on ceilings. Where the "time portal" is hidden - and how to look through it into the XVII century.
