B - This was my first trip to Oman and I came here looking to see the beautiful architecture and learn about the city. If your looking for that, this tour would be the best option for you. Our guide Mohamed was so kind and taught us many this about the Omani culture and different facts about the city. It was so amazing to see the beautiful mountains and be at peace. Nizwa was also very beautiful and grate for shopping at the souls and meeting the locals.
10/10 recommend!!!

Nizwa and Jabal Sham Private Tour - We had a private tour from Muscat to Nizwa Souq, Nizwa Fort and Jabal Sham mountains. We had the pleasure of having Mohammed as our tour guide. He was knowledgeable, professional, kind and made the experience so amazing. We had the best time. He offered us an amazing insight into the beautiful Omani culture and country. He was kind and made me want to come back to Oman to visit and explore more of this beautiful country. I would highly recommend this tour with Mohammed and this company. Will definitely be back to Oman and look forward to another tour with Mohammed!
