- Nizwa fort – built in the 1668, Oman’s most visited national monument.
- Nizwa souq – the second most important (after Muttrah in Muscat) souq in Oman, a market place selling (animals – goats – and agricultural products) and handicrafts. Nizwa is famous especially for silver jewellery and khanjars (curved daggers).
