        Nizwa trip
        A fun and enjoyable trip with the tour guide, Muhammad Suleiman. We enjoyed the imaginative atmosphere of Nizwa, between heritage shops, delicious popular food, and its beautiful natural scenery. A trip worth repeating again.

        Wadi Shab Tour
        What an experience! The Wadi is a place you'll always remember. The first part is a nice and easy walk through the canyon, but for me the second is where it truly gets exciting: you can have a relaxing swim in a warm water that leads to a wonderful waterfall in a cave. Our guide, Saif, was super friendly. He even offered us some coffee with dates after the swim. Thank you so much! I really enjoyed everything.

        Wadi shab
        Wadi Shab trip is not to be missed, We were accompanied by our guide Sulaiman Al Mahrouqi, whom we highly recommend. He is kind and encourages us constantly, breaks our fears, and has complete knowledge of the Sultanate of Oman and its valleys. The trip was more than wonderful. At first, we walked, and after that, we started swimming and enjoyed the waterfalls and the beautiful views. I advise everyone to join this trip, especially with the guide Sulaiman Al Mahrouqi

        7 days Oman tour
        We booked a tour of Oman from Italy and we asked to our travel agency to have a tourist guide. Se we met Sulaiman from WikiTours in Muscat and he was our keeper for all the week. Right from the beginning we understood that he was the perfect guy for us, always really kind, helpful and professional. He was able to feel us at home, speaking about his Country with the heart! He told us about everything giving us also a taste of Omani cuisine! We had a lot of fantastic experiences and the feeling with him was perfect and we felt safe in every moment! So, thank you Sulaiman for your precious presence, now you’ve got friends in Italy!!

        Wadi Shab hike
        It was a great experience.. the trip starts with a boat ride to jump to the other side of the wadi, then around 20-25 minutes walking, and you end the trip with a short swim that leads to a cave filled with water and waterfall.. Saif -our guide- was so friendly and helpful. You can go even with kids

        Great experience
        We had a great time on the Jebel Akhdar via Ferrata/Zipline, it was definitely a bit challenging but still very fun and had amazing views the whole time. It was a little bit scarier/more difficult than the Cloud Ladder Via Ferrara in Estes Park, for reference. Very good safety standards and equipment for the climb, but make sure to wear good close fitting shoes. The guide took lots of great pictures and we did too! We are experienced climbers so we finished the route in a little over an hour, which left plenty of time to explore the village next to the route and enjoy some freshly made coffee with an incredible view of the sunset over the terraces. We went 3-6pm, which was actually not hot at all as the weather is cooler in the mountains than in Muscat. There is an option to have hotel pickup, but we opted for meeting the guide at the Birkat Al Mouz police checkpoint (you need 4wd to go up the mountain). This was perfect as we were able to drive to Nizwa after for an amazing dinner based on the guides recommendation.

      The experience with wikitour was amasing. We were able to discover the grand canyon of Oman thanks to a superb hike and incredible climbing. Safe and his team welcomed us and great connections were created. Climbing a mountain was a first for us, Safe and his team were patient, reassuring and caring with us. we didn't have the chance to know about wikitour when we arrived otherwise we would have done all the excursions with them.

      If you want to discover Oman, live an incredible experience, Wikitour is where it happens.

      One thing is for sure we will come back to Oman to live a new experience with Wikitour.
