Nizwa was the capital of Oman in the 6th and 7th centuries AD.

A handwritten letter from the Islamic Prophet Muhammad in 630 asked the locals of Nizwa to convert to Islam.

Nizwa Fort, built in 1668 AD, is Oman's most visited national monument.

Nizwa is renowned for its silver jewelry, considered to be the best in the country.

Falaj Daris, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the largest irrigation system in Oman.
