Birkat Al Mouz Tourism

Birkat Al Mouz, which translates to 'Banana pool,' is a picturesque and historical site on the outskirts of Nizwa, within Oman's Ad Dakhiliyah region. The village is a testament to Oman’s impressive water management through its famed falaj system—ancient water channels on the UNESCO World Heritage list. At the heart of the village lies a lush green oasis made up of dense date palm plantations giving it a unique charm. Apart from the greenery, ruins of old mud-brick houses add a sense of history and culture to the place. The area is overlooked by the ruins of Bait Al Redidah, adding to the historic appeal of Birkat Al Mouz. This site serves as a starting point for treks to Jebel Akhdar and is also close to the imposing Nizwa Fort, making it a suitable stop for history enthusiasts and nature lovers. Visitors can explore the traditional architecture, agricultural practices, and understand the bygone lifestyle of the inhabitants of this region. The location is also popular among photographers for its enchanting natural beauty and architectural significance.
