We had a great private tour in the evening. Our guide gave us a lot of background information about life, people and culture in Oman. We have already booked for the second time with Arabian Travel Service and it was always very well suited...again and again gladly! Thank you Adam!

We had a great day in Salalah with our tour guide Ahmed. We were picked up from our hotel on time. The car was air-conditioned and water was provided. Lucky for us that Ahmed speaks perfect German and explained everything in our native language. On the trip we learned a lot about the local customs and traditions in Oman. Ahmed never got tired of answering all our questions - he also had good tips for dates and spices. We were able to take as much time as we needed everywhere and at the end we were treated to a very tasty typical tea with a pastry. In addition to the professional planning and the information we received, what we appreciated most was the honest warmth and the joy of conversation. It was like a trip with a good friend! Thank you very much
