Excellent experience of main important places - This was an amazing tour, my guide was very knowledgeable and kind, provided very interesting information and pointed at the important details all along the tour and in every landmark.
We visited: Nizwa souq, Nizwa Fort (beautiful renovated building to learn about their history), Green Mountain for amazing views and Barkat AlMuz old village.
My guide was Khalid AlRaqadi and I if you can ask for him, you will not regret, I highly recommend him, he has vast knowledge of the culture and history, important facts and has great attitude
he also helped by taking some cool pictures :)
The customer service at the agency is super good too! Great communication and attitude

Great experience. - The views were amazing. What made the experience so much better was our brilliant guide,his name was Khalid al Raqadi, he was very kind and considerate. He knew where he was going and knew so much history and facts about the places he took us too. He made our experience so nice and enjoyable. We went to Nizwa Souq and Khalid knew so much about the products and which ones were good quality, we also went to Nizwa Fort and he knew so much of the amazing Omani history - it was soo interesting. We also went to the Green Mountain and the views that Khalid showed us were incredible. As two young women, we also felt very safe with him and we definitely recommend him to others! Thank you so much Khalid!

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.

Tour of the Town - The views were amazing, Ahmed was extremely knowledgeable and patient everywhere we went. Great driver and guide, who made us all feel comfortable and encouraged us to explore the places visited and taught us something about each place along the way.

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!
