Things of interest in Nizwa

There's a 17th century circular fort you can go photograph, and some very rich jewelry and crafts industries. For shop addicts, it would be interesting to purchase a souvenir such as a kanjar dagger, curved and still used in ceremonies. Go see the local mosque too, a blue dome, surrounded by noisy silver merchants. Nizwa was famed for its poets once, being the origin of Sindbad the Sailor.
