I visited many fortresses during my travel, and Nizwa Fort is one of those forts that doesn't feel intimidating. I would say that the interior architecture is somehow relatively comfortable and even romantic. This is also well reflected in the visitors, that seem relaxed and enjoy the beauty of every corner. Two of my highlights would be the open courtyard with an interesting triangle shape of stairs leading to the top of the fortress wall. You can have a beautiful bird's view of the surrounding houses and dates trees from here. The second one is the guard's parade which is very interesting to watch and adds an ancient feel to the atmosphere. Once I read a quote by an unknow, "Nizwa is a city rich in history, culture, and tradition, and the Nizwa Fort is one of the most impressive fortifications in the country. It's a place that transports visitors back in time, giving them a unique glimpse into the past and the role it played in shaping the Oman of today." Enjoy!
Thank you for traveling with me!
This is part of my ongoing Travel Visualclips, where I shared a glimpse of my travel visuals and thought. Each series features a paragraph of the history of the place and a paragraph of my thought. Accompanied by no more than fifteen carefully curated images, each series is intended to give readers the umami of travel.
