We had a 4 hours trip Sultan Qaboos Mosque, Mutrah Souq, Qurum Beach and Royal Opera House. The trip was carefully planned considering my parents age. We are treated with utmost respect and friendliness by Mr. Amer (Tour Guide). He was very supportive and explained every details very minutely. Very happy with the experience and I recommend this to everyone.

Lovely leisurely morning exploring Muscat with the family. Saif was full of fascinating facts about the history and contemporary Muscat and tailored our day to keep the kids engaged.

Great trip with our guide Mohammed Aljibri. His English was great and he knowledgeably guided us around the major Muscat sights. Grand Mosque was beautiful, the Opera House stunning and the forts and souk completed the trip. Would recommend.

Mohammed gave us an excellent trip around the major Muscat sights. The Grand Mosque is beautiful, the Opera House amazing and the forts, souk and palaces added to the flavour of the city. Our guides English was very good and he patiently answered our many questions

Great half day tour of the main Muscat sights. The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque was the highlight. Abdul Majeed was my tour guide and great. The only thing I would recommend is just spend 10 minutes at the souk and include the National Museum. I’m not interested in shopping and the museum is a wonderful history of Oman. A great architecture section with models of all major historical buildings in the country.

We were collected promptly at our hotel by Ahmed who was very bright and happy when greeting us. He made sure we were dressed appropriately for the visit to the Grand Mosque and gave a brief overview of our itinerary. We were driven in a Toyota Landcruiser all day which was a very comfortable ride as there was five of us with my Wife and four year old sitting in seats in the very back of the vehicle. Ahmed is an excellent guide and very polite and courteous towards us. He stayed over the allotted four hours to show us the opera house and was willing to stay even longer if we wished.

Saif picked us up from the hotel and gave us a very nice tour around Muscat. He was very skilled and down to earth, and managed to tell us about the things we were interested in. Thank you for the tour.

This tour is a must while in Muscat. This is my first day here and I wanted to experience Omani culture and see popular landmarks and it didn’t disappoint. My guide abdulmajeed was great! He was friendly accommodating and took me to the places that is included in the tour. He answered all my questions and he was able to tell me a few history about this beautiful country. I was told Omani people are very hospitable and my guide reflects how hospitable they are . Thanks my brother!!!
