Road trip Oman Part 2: Nizwa, Al Hamra and Bahla
The historical towns in Oman
Oman is an amazing destination for travel fanatics. It is one of the absolute gems in the Middle East where you can discover the Arab world. In this video we visit Nizwa, Al Hamra and Bahla. We drive from the mountains in Jebel Shams to the town of Nizwa. We visit the goat market, the Nizwa Fort, the souk and the Wadina Water Park. The trip continues to the ghost town of Al Hamra among thousands of palm trees. From here we also visit the medieval city of Bahla. Overhere is the oldest settlement in Oman, the Bahla Fort and the beautiful ruins of Jabreen Castle. Meanwhile, we are getting closer and closer to the big highlight of this trip: the infinite desert.
I hope you enjoyed part 2 of our road trip in Oman to Nizwa, Al Hamra and Bahla. In part 3 of the road trip in Oman you see us traveling to Wahiba Sands, Wadi Bani Khalid, Wadi Shab and Ras al Jinz. In part 1 you can see us traveling to Muscat en Jebel Shams. We are traveling all over the world unlimited and make videos of every destination we visit.
