Nizwa is the largest city in the Ad Dakhiliyah Region in Oman and was the capital of Oman proper. Nizwa is about 140 km (1.5 hours) from Muscat. The population is estimated at around 70,000 people including the two areas of Burkat Al Mooz and Al Jabel Al Akhdar.
The main tourist attractions in the city are Nizwa Fort, the traditional Souq and Falaj Daris. In the 1990's, the Jama, the fort and the souq which sit next to each other in the centre were renovated using the same traditional materials. The design of the souq complements the fort in every way. In 1993 Nizwa won the award of 'Organisation of Arab Cities'.
