In Al Aqr, in Nizwa, you will travel around an old village in a quiet, classic-looking echo cart. The moving cart is comfortable and open, so you’ll feel as if you are being carried back into the past. Along the way you will pass through what feels like an open-air museum, seated close to the real old life of Oman.
The tour explores the heritage village, historical ruins, the old irrigation system and traditional mud houses. A guide will explain architectural details of the mud houses and point out features of local construction. The experience is educational, interactive and suitable for all ages. Visitors will also see aspects of daily social life and customary living styles typical of some of the country’s more conservative communities.
