We want to witness the friday cattle market in Nizwa. We went very early to nizwa, we reach there on time. And the Omanis strt selling their goats to other omanis. Witnessing this kind of live selling was incredible. Then after we visited as well the birkat al mouz and irrigation system of Al Kattmyn, then lastly the Jebel Akhdar. We really enjoyed our tour with Majid. I would highly recommend this tour.
