        A great Private Half Day tour with a special Guide
        We did a half day city tour with Jafaar (he has a great sense of humor); He treated us to the best sites and is extremely knowledgeable about the city. He shared with us culture, tradition and gave us a greater understanding of Oman. How the country is developing and the beauty built out of a desert is amazing. All the sites we visited are well worth a visit

        Unforgetable Tour
        My friend and I had a delightfully fulfilling time throughout the tour with our personable and helpful guide, Fawzi, who was extremely dedicated and committed to give us the experience of a lifetime and leave Oman full of beautiful memories and a yearning to come back for more. Bravo!

        Experiencing Muscat with a friend
        We booked this tour quite spontaniously and were not diasappointed. Our guide, Ali picked us up at the hotel, even earlier than scheduled and provided a cup of home-brew coffe and some dates as an icebraeker. We then went on the tour, where Ali took time explaining whatever we asked and even showing us additional things. In the Souk he made sure we got the best prices for our souvenirs. The whole tour felt like we were guided by a friend and not just a guide. 5/5 stars

        Oh man what a tour!!
        We took a 3 day / 2 night tour and though it was expensive it was worth every omani rial! Ali was our guide and the most courteous and safe driver and good company too. We visited nizwa and he even took us back in the evening for a tour by night and delicious rooftop dinner. We also visited Jebel shams and a historic village with falalj walk. The next day was to wadi Ben khalid - our favourite wadi as it was quieter than wadi shab and absolutely beautiful. We stayed overnight in ras Al hadd and Ali drove us to ras Al jinz where we had a magical evening on the beach watching baby turtles hatch and a huge mother turtle return to the sea after laying her eggs, topped off with a bit of bioluminescence! The next day was sur and then wadi shab - stunning but a long hot hike and a bit busy for swimming. Back to muscat via Finn's beach and bimmah sinkhole. It's an absolute must do to get out of muscat and explore this stunning country and meet its beautiful people. It was the absolute highlight of our trip to Oman!

        We had Ali again on this tour. What a great guide to have. Be prepared for a long day. Nizwa is a fascinating town but for us TGF highlight was going to Jabal Shams. A wonderful mountain experience which included a spectacular flash flood the scenery was spectacular. Our guide Ali was an extremely courteous, knowledgeable and safe driver.

        Highly recommend this amazing day tour!
        What a wonderful day! Fahad arrived at our Airbnb promptly and drove us in air conditioned comfort to the various stops on the tour. Nizwa souq, fort and castle - so interesting and full of history. Fahad knew even more than the information provided at the sites. He didn't rush us when we may have spent more time at the souq than allocated lol. Lunch was at a roadside Yemeni restaurant - delicious. Then on to Jebel Shams, Al Hamra and Misfat Al Abriyeen. Fahad knows so much about Oman's culture and history, and was happy to share it all with us. The stops were fascinating and Fahad took a lot of photos for us and with us. It was an incredible day. Special thanks to Fahad and his team.

        Excellent experience of Oman mountain culture
        We has an excellent trip, especially worth the early morning start to see the Friday goat market in Nizwa. Our guide was friendly and knowledgable about the area - in fact he seems to know everyone, wherever we went!

        Great trip!
        If you want to have a trip with an adventure, this is the best tour for you. Our guide Fawzi was a kind man and he showed us great views of Jebel Shams. The hike is about 4 hours, but has some ups and downs. Do not forget to bring your hiking boots!

        Amazing Muscat
        Muscat is a city rich in variety - mountains and beaches on one hand and souq and malls on the other. The largest mosque in the Arabic peninsula, The Grand Mosque is majestic. A melting pot of many cultures in the intricate carvings, doorways, carpets and chandelier! Opera House is a tribute and a treat! The famous Muttrah Souq transports you to the Alladin's cave with its meandering walkabouts and rich cultural splendours. You will be spoilt for choice! Do indulge in spices, dates, perfumes, carvings and silver jewellery. A pleasant walk along the Corniche and the Sultan's ships in the harbour are it's other attractions. For a more local flavour, visit the Fish market or the Fruit and vegetable market. Get a glimpse of Oman and it's history in the Bait Al Zubair Museum. Visit the Al Alam for the royal experience and splendour. Round off your trip with walk on the beach, visit to the hypermarkets or indulging in local delicacies. Halwa and dates are a must..in whatever you may choose. A very very big thank you to Saeid for being extremely kind, generous and patient and making our day trip absolutely amazing!!! Kudos for the best recommendation for the shawarmas!

        Wonderful Oman
        Our guide Omar was fantastic. He answered so many of our questions about Oman & the way of life that we felt we had a true picture of the country. He was also a wealth of knowledge about each of the sites we visited and had an abundance of patience whilst we took many, many photos. Our lunch stop off was also delicious. He drove with skill up & down the winding 4 wheel terrain to get to the grand canyon, he was familiar with the region & was great at explaining and pointing out details and information along the way, which one would have paid no attention to normally. It was a lovely day and we absolutely recommend it - even if you are in Oman for a short visit, this is a must do day trip.
