Amazing Nizwas - We visited Nizwa, the former capital of Oman, and it was an exciting and enriching experience. Along the way, we learned fascinating bits of history, thanks to our tour guide Ahmed, who was incredibly patient, knowledgeable and attentive throughout the day.
Nizwa itself was a charming town. We explored the vibrant souqs, toured the impressive fort and enjoyed some refreshments at a local coffee shop. The atmosphere was both lively and welcoming.
The journey was comfortable, with the air conditioning keeping us cool despite the sweltering 40°C May heat. The mountain views at the top were breathtaking and we appreciated the chance to relax and enjoy a meal at a restaurant nearby.
At our request, we made a quick stop to see the rose gardens. Ahmed was more than happy to accommodate us - nothing was too much trouble for him and we never felt rushed.
Our final stop were the ruins of Harat As Sibani, which turned out to be my personal favourite. It was a powerful moment to reflect on the past and imagine what life was like there long ago.
We departed at 8:30am and returned around 7:30pm - a full day of unforgettable sights, experiences and memories well worth the time.

Beautiful trip out in Nizwa - The abandoned village was a highlight of the trip, with great places to take pictures of and the view from the top of Jabal Akhdar was breathtaking. The rose distillery was a hidden gem, with beautiful flowers around the garden.

Flavour of Oman - We were looking for a suitable Oman tour for the family to see some of the main tourist attractions on offer.
It was a full on day but totally worth it - we started at the souqs and the old fort of Nizwa. This was followed by a steep and winding drive up to Jebel Akhder. Incredible views and a nice surprise at the top (hidden in the rocks). The highlight though were the ruins at Birkat Al Mouz. Desperately in need of restoration but fortunate enough to see them before they may sadly collapse.

Amazing tour day! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Absolutely fantastic tour! Definitely recommend. Ahmed Alghammari was our guide and he took us on a great all day journey to Nizwa Fort, the vibrant souk, and the stunning mountains as well as the ruins of a 200 years old village. Lunch in the mountains was so good and so cheap. Ahmed’s knowledge and passion for the history and culture were truly impressive, and he explained everything so clearly and enthusiastically. He even took lots of photos for us. We learned so much and felt like we were getting a truly authentic experience. Highly recommend this guide to anyone visiting Nizwa - you won't be disappointed! 5 stars isn't enough!

Fun Trip - Nature, Extended History & Culture - An enjoyable journey between natural areas and important landmarks with a lot of cultural and cultural diversity, adding to this the presence of the knowledgeable and experienced tour guide Ali Jabri, in addition to his beautiful approach, he gave us a lot of knowledge about the history of the place, the culture and way of life of the people. It’s long enough but you can’t get enough of the charm, sophisticated treatment, and the welcome we found at every location we visited and wish to visit Oman again.

Best tour of our trip! - We had an all-round successful day with our private guide Ali in Oman. Ali spoke very good English and led us safely and comfortably through the streets with his calm and level-headed driving. We were particularly impressed by how he introduced us to local culture – from tasting aromatic coffee and fresh dates to interesting insights as a museum guide. The authentic, local food was delicious and completed the day perfectly. We can recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience Oman in an authentic way and want to enjoy the natural beauties away from the trouble of the big city!
