What you'll do

Orient Apartments offers the cheapest sensible family beds in Nizwa: aparthotel units with a kitchenette, fridge and sofa bed on Al Wakalat Street, ten minutes from the fort and souq.
Self-catering is the family superpower here — breakfast at your own pace, picnic packed for Al Hoota or Wadina, and no restaurant bills three times a day.
Note: it's cash only, and simple. For a pool, look at Falaj Daris instead; for value, this is the Nizwa pick.

🎒 Bring & wear

Basic groceries (supermarkets nearby), and cash — the property doesn't take cards.

💡 Family tips

  • Stock the fridge at Lulu Nizwa on the way in
  • Units vary in size — ask for the larger family unit when booking
  • Bring cash: card machines are not a thing here

🚻 Facilities

  • Free parking
  • Kitchenette in every unit
  • Sofa beds for kids
  • Free WiFi
  • Air-conditioning
