Oman Day 3 - Nizwa

Nizwa was around a two hour drive from the hotel and was regarded as one of the top sights within the Sultanate.  It is one of the oldest cities in the country and was at one time the capital.

The main attraction is the fort and the adjoining castle.  There is plenty to see here to fill up a whole day.

Within the city a couple of stunning Little Green Bee-Eater sat on wires.

Desert Wheatear were a regularly sighting wherever there was any barren land as were Red-tailed Wheatear.  Both of these were seen just outside of Nizwa city.
