You will take a gentle sightseeing tour around the old village of al Aqr in Nizwa, seated in an open echo cart. Along the way you will pass the heritage village, historical ruins, the traditional irrigation system and rows of architectural mud houses. The route gives close-up views of everyday life in some of the country’s most conservative cities, showing local customs and living styles as they are practised today.
The experience is educational and interactive, suitable for all ages. The quiet, classic-looking echo cart makes the ride comfortable and calm, and the guide will explain some architectural information about the mud houses as you move through the village. The trip feels like moving through an open-air museum while seated, offering a simple way to be close to the older way of life in Oman.
