I’m not a tour person, but this tour was 1,000% worth it! - We cannot recommend this tour, and especially Hamood, highly enough! In addition to seeing so many beautiful sights across Oman, Hamood was able to share with us aspects of Omani culture that made the experience absolutely unforgettable. If I could give him 100 stars I would.

Amazing tour with amazing guide - Amazing trip! We started at 730am and didn't get back until almost 7pm. Jihad is an amazing guide who is full of knowledge of Oman's history and culture. He took me to all of the places that I wanted to go, and was a great photographer as well! I highly recommend this tour.

Great excursion to Oman! - We absolutely loved this ride. A busy day of 8 hours exploring beautiful landscapes. Nizwa (Fort and souk) are must-sees.
The visit of Jebel Shams remains a unique moment, the view of the canyon was sublime.
Khalid was a great guide, available and rich in explanations.
