Through my lens: Ancient beauty of Nizwa

The picturesque drive to Nizwa nestled among the Hajar Mountains is perfect for a short day trip. The scorching heat didn’t stop me from appreciating the ancient beauty of Nizwa fort. The souq nearby was filled with earthenware pottery, traditional Omani Khanjar, wooden chests and heavy silver jewelry.
