A proper adventure with great guides! - Saif and Zak were awesome guides. My three friends and I had an incredibly fun and memorable adventure hiking in a one of the most beautiful canyons we have seen. We were picked up from our hotel and drove up to mountains to begin the day. We were treated to tons of info on Omani culture, tradition, and fun music along the way. The hike was not too difficult for our group, and the views were exceptional. Huge canyon views off to the side with local goats roaming the trails. Pictures of canyon do not do it justice. The trail ends at a very nice natural pool where Saif and Zak shared coffee and snacks to prep for via ferrata. There was a short hike up to via ferrata where we started ascent out of canyon. My friends and I followed the guides’ lead up the walls. It was moderately challenging mentally and physically, but very worth the experience. My three friends had never climbed before, the guides were very helpful and instructive the whole time. Thanks to them, we had no issues getting up the route. Finally, Zak treated us to a local tour of Nizwa, showing us more local culture of a historic site and introducing us to many friends and Omani traditional dishes. Highly recommend this trip, I hope to return to summit Jabal Shams and will certainly reach out to Saif and Zak.

Wikitour amasing expérience - The experience with wikitour was amasing. We were able to discover the grand canyon of Oman thanks to a superb hike and incredible climbing. Safe and his team welcomed us and great connections were created. Climbing a mountain was a first for us, Safe and his team were patient, reassuring and caring with us. we didn't have the chance to know about wikitour when we arrived otherwise we would have done all the excursions with them. If you want to discover Oman, live an incredible experience, Wikitour is where it happens. One thing is for sure we will come back to Oman to live a new experience with Wikitour.
