Muscat Tours & Trips

As a couple we had a wonderful time in Oman thanks to Nasser’s in depth knowledge of the country and his warm personality. There was an overview of the main sites in Muscat city, then we saw Quriyat (small coastal fishing village) and the Bimah Sinkhole. Then we will continued along the white Beach of Fins followed by the beautiful Wadi Shab. Sur and Ras Al Hadd were historical whilst the Ras al Jinz reserve allowed us to witness the Turtles in action (hatching, moving to sea). There was also star gazing at the resort hotel. On the second day we explored Wadi Bani Khaled. In this spectacular Wadi we enjoyed the scenery and clear waters to swim in. The Wahiba Desert was magical in its stillness and beauty . We also visited a local Bedouin family and learned about their history and lifestyle. Throughout our trip we were welcomed with Omani hospitality. The desert hotel was unique and also had a great plateau from which to see beautiful scenery. On the third day we explored Nizwa which has a rich history and is known as a trading hub of local goods such as Halwa, daggers and and goats. The Round Tower Fort and Souq were famous. Jabrin Castle was full of history and architectural marvel. We recommend this tour and in particular suggest you ask for Nasser. He really went out of his way to make us feel comfortable, brief us in detail and give an in depth explanation of the country and culture.

The most value for money tour of Oman- good transport, accommodations and food. Points for improvement- - Tour guide should be engaging and imparting lots of information regarding the sights, which I found lacking. There was no formal introduction even and most of the time, he was repeating some very basic information about the places unless asked further questions. He needs to have room numbers and some people's phone contacts to be better organised. - Although it was not a problem for me being young, a lot of the locations are not truly accessible for people with mobility issues eg Wadis and this should be mentioned beforehand as they are essentially cannot be explored by the elderly. - Nizwa fort should be included on the last day - longer time at the mosque, the wadis and Nizwa souk - restaurants need to be chosen to include vegetarian mains or this needs to be explained beforehand as I accidentally ate meat on the first night thinking it was the alternative vegetarian option, which it was not. The starters were the only veggie thing. Apart from this meal, the other meals were good/ ok

Wonderful! Every aspect was just perfect!
