The visit of Jebel Shams remains a unique moment, the view of the canyon was sublime.

Hanging with Hamood - It was a fun and educational tour. Hamood was great to talk with and a very enjoyable tour guide. The fort and souq were fun to see and experience. All the free dates and coffee you can consume at the souq!

Roundtrip Nizwa and Jebel Shams - We have had an amazing experience. We have seen many places. Our guide Said Al kiyumi was very knowledgeable of all locations. He is a good and safe driver. The airco in the car was very nice. Said was very kind and has a lot of humor. It is a very good day to get an impression of the old Oman.

Unforgettable Day Exploring Oman’s Hidden Gems - I had an incredible experience on the Nizwa Fort - Nizwa Souq - Misfah Al Arbyeen - Jebel Shams private full-day tour. Ahmad Alghammari was amazing and very knowledgeable. He shared fascinating insights about the history and culture of each location, and his passion for the region truly elevated the experience. The itinerary was well-paced, and every stop was breathtaking. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the beauty of Oman with a professional and friendly guide.

The best tour during our Middle East vacation - Said Al Aamri was our guide, and he was fantastic. It was a long day, but well worth the time. We saw all of the sites as advertised, and Said gave us lots of background information at each stop. We shared coffee and tea several times, as well as a huge lunch. We really enjoyed the views at Jebel Shams, especially as it was a nice break from the heat at Nizwa. Thanks for a wonderful tour!
