Amazing tour with Samir! - We had a wonderful half-day tour of Muscat thanks to Samir and his tour agency. From the very beginning, he was extremely helpful and kind, making the experience even more enjoyable. In addition to taking us to the city’s main tourist sites, he surprised us with a stop at a breathtaking panoramic viewpoint, which made the tour even more special. He also kindly offered us food and drinks along the way, which was a very thoughtful touch. Thank you so much, Samir, for your professionalism and hospitality! Highly recommended!

Amazing city tour with Saif - We had an amazing city tour with our guide - Saif. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. Explained the history of the country and the places we went to see, eg. Grand Mosque, Opera House. Also helped with getting a good price for items we bought. He made sure our young son was happy/comfortable throughout. We enjoyed the tour and it was made even more special because of Saif.

Very educational and interesting tour with excellent guide - On the private half-day tour in a very comfortable SUV, guide Khalid not only safely chauffeured us to the impressive sights of the city, but also imparted a lot of current and historical background knowledge about Oman in general and Muscat in particular with his profound knowledge. No question remained unanswered. We can highly recommend Khalid as a guide.

A great morning touring Muscat - We spent a lovely morning with our tour guide Saif showing us around Muscat. We started off at the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, where a lovely guide helped me put my scarf on correctly. The Mosque is stunning inside and well worth a visit. We then went to the Opera house, it’s a lovely building inside but is a very short tour! We then stopped for some local tea and bread, all arranged by Saif and delicious. We had a walk along a beach. After that we headed for the fish market and then the vegetable markets, where we purchased some dates and nuts and a few local spices. Saif then took us to the Souk where we purchased some souvenirs to take home, thankfully Saif was on hand to do the bartering for us! Finally we had a drive through the old part of Muscat and ended having a look at the Al Alam Palace, you can’t go in but the outside is pretty spectacular to look at. Overall I would highly recommend this tour and Saif was a brilliant, funny and very informative guide.
