Very nice tour with helpfull quide - From the start, she was knowledgeable, warm, and made us feel like family. They perfectly balanced our tour with hidden local spots we never would have found on our own. Her passion for culture and history was infectious, and she truly went above and beyond to make the trip memorable. Highly recommended!Thanks . nurcan

Lovely Day Out - I had an amazing experience on the Salalah tour with Salmaa. She was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much interesting information about the places we visited, which made the whole trip even more special. She made everything so comfortable and easy for us from start to finish, and the tour was perfectly catered to our needs and preferences. We visited some truly beautiful sights. Salmaa was thoughtful, patient, and always made sure we were enjoying ourselves. It felt very personal rather than like a standard tour, which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend this tour and guide to anyone visiting Salalah and wanting a relaxed, well-organised, and memorable experience. Thank you Salmaa, for such a lovely day!

A wanderful day - We spent a wonderful day in the stunning natural landscapes east and west of Salalah, as well as in Salalah city. Ahmed is an excellent guide, polite, knowledgeable, and well prepared. He shared historical and geographical insights with great professionalism, along with everyday life stories that we truly appreciated. I warmly recommend this tour, which was conducted comfortably and at a well paced rhythm.

The best tour! - We had Amin as our tour guide for this tour and it was truly one of the best decisions we made. We were on the fence whether to book the rest or west tour as we were only in Salalah for two days but were lucky to have booked both as the scenes were truly unreal. The guide was super helpful, friendly and knowledgeable and shared his knowledge about Oman and its culture with a genuine interest in making tourists feel welcome. We learnt a great deal about Omani culture and he even accommodated a quick stop to purchase authentic frankincense. We definitely will be returning to Salalah.

Full day east & west highly recommended - We took a full day private tour. Comfortable vehicle, well planned journey (good to visit the secluded beaches in the morning when you are the only visitors - larger group tours only reach them in the afternoon). Special mention for Amin, the young and friendly Omani driver who entertained and informed us at the same time. Unforgettable experience, highly recommended!

Full Day Private Tour: Great - We chose a private tour for the whole day. Comfortable vehicle, perfect planning (isolated beaches give their best in the morning, group tours go no in the afternoon) and unforgettable places. Plus a young, nice and friendly Omani escort, Amin, who entertained and informed us. A really enjoyable experience!

Solid tour with bright experience - We met with our guide Ali, he came right on time to pick us. And he was very friendly and he explained us everything about the history of the place and many interesting facts, anything on our way we saw - we asked him about and he tell us all his knowledge. It was simply amazing experience and for sure we will return back next time also. Not only he took us to tour destinations he also showed us nice spots for shots and was always asking us how we find tour or if we need anything tour was long, but time was going quick because Ali's company was entertaining and interesting. Last location for sunset was a true gem which we will bear in our hearts for rest of life. Thank you Habibi!

Salalah in a day - Nice tour around the city and out. Good timing- not a season, not crowded, not hot. Great weather (January). Salma is the gem, her guiding style rules and she drives a car excellent. I can recommend to ask for Salma as a guide, when you will book a tour.
