Excellent private tour with a very personal and professional hospitality. - From booking to the end our experience it was fantastic and the service provided was flawless. Karen at reservations was amazing in her communication and updates before, during and after the tour. The wadi, desert camp stay, desert safari ride for the sunset and the historic villages and souks were all things we could not have done on our own. The Oryx Camp was perfect and all needs were catered for. A big thank you to Mr Noman and his team at the camp too. Buffet dinner was plentiful and tasty. A very big thank you to our guide, Mr. Aziz for making it possible. At no time did we feel rushed and the conversation with Mr Aziz was flowing with lots of insight and historic knowledge from him into this beautiful country with beautiful people. Highly recommended to take this private tour and very very fond memories indeed.

A slice of modern Oman - My brother and I had a fantastic 36 hours with Nasr. We tasted Omani specialties and sweets that we never would have known about. We enjoyed a mountain oasis, got to meet some Bedouin people, and then spent time in the peaceful desert in a very nice glamping situation. The tour was flexible; the morning after the desert we weren't interested in going to the souq, so Nasr gave us a tour of the Grand Mosque of Muscat instead! Absolutely incredible. Oman is beautiful and the people are great. This tour was jam-packed with learning about the contemporary culture of Oman, while enjoying vacation fun like swimming in the oasis and going on a camel ride. We were super comfortable with Nasr's chill attitude and gracious hosting abilities.
