Nearby town shut down for afternoon prayer

Pool at the Golden Tulip Niswaw Hotel. It felt great to do laps after a long dry hot day

Weekly Livestock Market Nizwa

This was one of the most interesting parts of any trip I have taken. I was allowed to walk round, throughout the auction taking photos with no one objecting.

Just looking at all the faces, Kaftan or Gandora, robe attire for men., Keffias, head gear and multitude of interesting faces it was fascinating. Men also wear Keffiyehs or head gear or we call it a hat. Each style represents a different tribe or family. The women wear a Hijab to cover their heads and all hair.

I was able to spend over an hour walking in and around the auction
