Oman Tour Companies

Oman is truly a hidden treasure, and Guide Aziz from Gidoman Tours is a testament to that! From the vibrant heartbeat of Muscat to those tucked-away natural wonders in the wadis, we were wowed every single day. The desert's tranquil moments under a star-studded sky? Absolute magic. But the real heart of our trip was Aziz. With his depth of knowledge, warm spirit, and heartfelt care, he made every moment stand out. Big love and kudos to him and Gidoman Tours for elevating our experience. If you're even slightly considering this tour – just go for it! And fingers crossed you get Aziz as your guide – he's the best!

The guide was very nice and good at communicating, also gave us lots of information about Oman, we saw the nature and the culture and enjoyed the tour.

Unforgeteble 🔝🔝🔝🔝

Very well organised. Saw a lot and learnt a lot. Only moan some of pretrip info was out of date or misleading

Great experience! The tour was filled with cultural places, shopping and fantastic food.

Tour bus audio system wasn't working properly so couldn't hear what tour guide was talking about.

Saeed the guide was really nice and we had some interesting conversations about Oman and culture. The hotel on the first night could have been upgraded as it was not really nice. Other than that the tour gives a good overview about the country if you have only 4-5 days .

Great overview of the highlights of the country. Would recommend.

Good itinerary, but be prepared for 2 nights of basic camping & no turtle sightings during off season.

Good trip, good people. Perfect weather during the month of December. Not very developed for tourism. Interesting architecture, city buildings are not very tall, and houses blend with the surroundings perfectly.

This was the first time this trip was run - so there were a few growing pains with the organization as well as what the detailed itinerary notes were as compared to what actually happened.  However - NONE of that overshadowed the superb hiking, views, good guides, and fun time!  The hiking was harder than I had originally expected, but we only hiked about 4 hrs (except one day where we did 8 hrs) a day so it was very manageable.  There was plenty of time to rest at the campsites!  The camping food was fresh but simple and the camping gear used was basic.  It was a real camping and hiking experience, not a luxury one.  This trip was a true hiking adventure! What was the most inspirational moment of your trip? Getting to Bilad Sayt took a little work – but it’s worth it as it’s one of the unique places to see in Oman . It was literally off the beaten path as we had to get there by 4×4 and then by foot.  We hiked by jagged canyon walls jutting up from the pools of water and shading me from the sun. I wondered if it could get any more beautiful than this – and my answer to that question came as I rounded the corner out of the canyon and stepped out into the sunlight. This is when I saw my first glimpse of Bilad Sayt – a fairy tale like village typical of the old Omani communal settlements of the past.  What did you think of your group leader? Rob was really knowledgable about Oman and was very well trained in adventure hiking and travel.  He was personable and did a good job of keeping us all together when hiking even though we were all different speeds - not easy!  There were two days where he had to leave the group and leave his other two leaders in charge. They were lovely and did a good job - but I did think that it was slightly odd that the group leader left for 2 of the 9 days.  Overall - the 3 of them were really great, fun to be with, safe, and knowledgable. Do you have any advice for potential travellers? This is not a luxury camping trip - this is roughing it.  The food is very simple, the tents are average, and you are without showers for 5 days.  However - if you love wide open spaces, unique landscapes, camping, and hiking - then you'll love it.  I would recommend proper hiking boots - even though I did all the hiking in trainers - but I would have preferred boots as some of the terraine was really rugged.  Be prepared for a decent amount of driving. Oman is a big country so we did hike a lot - but we also spent a lot of time in a car driving to the destinations.  The guides will provide you a lot of knowledge about the Omani history and culture but be aware that you don't really come in much contact with the culture or people because you are spending most of your time hiking remotely.  Bring a great camera - the views are spectacular!   Is there anything else you would like to add? One piece of advice - if at all possible - change the itinerary to view the Nizwa souq on a Friday during the cattle and goat market.  We missed this by a day and was really the highlight of the market from what I had read.  The souq was really fun regardless - but seeing the live auction would have made it even better!

We travelled with my husband and enjoyed this tour a lot. Our guide Seif was great, tried to do all his best for us and told us many interesting things about the country. Hotels also were comfortable, we did not experienced any inconvenience. We can recommend this tour for every who would like to have short but impressive tour.
