Great Day trip! - Really cool place to visit. What I really liked about this market was that it wasn't packed. You could actually move freely - except when you were in the DATES section as the cash registers were not the best situated - but they were fast. The merchandise is better than other markets - not as commercial. The vendors were really kind and helpful. The animal market was fun to watch! The pottery was amazing!! The Fort was really interesting...lots of steps - wear good shoes. It's been well preserved and the people are very proud of it.

Fantastic Guide Haroun and Tour - Had an amazing time with our private guide Haroun and his 4x4 ! He was very friendly, very kind, never in a rush and fully trustworthy and reliable. He went beyond what was required and recommended the best sites and locations. I would highly recommend Haroun and this tour to my family and friends.

Highly recommend this amazing day tour! - What a wonderful day! Fahad arrived at our Airbnb promptly and drove us in air conditioned comfort to the various stops on the tour. Nizwa souq, fort and castle - so interesting and full of history. Fahad knew even more than the information provided at the sites. He didn't rush us when we may have spent more time at the souq than allocated lol. Lunch was at a roadside Yemeni restaurant - delicious. Then on to Jebel Shams, Al Hamra and Misfat Al Abriyeen. Fahad knows so much about Oman's culture and history, and was happy to share it all with us. The stops were fascinating and Fahad took a lot of photos for us and with us. It was an incredible day. Special thanks to Fahad and his team.
