⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Experience – A Must-Do Tour in Oman!

5.00This was one of the highlights of our trip to Oman. The tour was perfectly organized by Oman Landscape Tours with our best guide Mohammed. Combining history, culture, and breathtaking natural scenery in a single day. Nizwa Fort was fascinating, and the traditional souq offered a wonderful glimpse into Omani life and heritage. The drive through the mountains was spectacular, and the views from Jebel Shams were absolutely incredible. Standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon of Arabia was an unforgettable experience. Mohammed was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the journey. The scenery, hospitality, and unique cultural experiences exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Oman and looking to explore the country's rich history and stunning landscapes. Highly recommended

5.00It was such a wonderful trip where we covered not only the Nizwa fort, but visited traditional market as well as the traditional village. Our guide was so knowledgeable and knew every detail related to historical aspects of the places. He also took us to the best place Jabel Shams to get the awesome view of the mountains and valley. I would like to thank M. Sulaiman, our guide, for taking us through there and for making it a memorable one. I highly recommend his services and this tour company.

5.00I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Oman Landscape Tours, and I couldn’t recommend them more. I took a private tour to Nizwa, Jebel Shams, and several traditional villages, and everything was perfectly organized and beautifully paced. Each stop felt meaningful and unhurried, allowing me to truly enjoy the history, the landscapes, and everyday life in Oman. A special thank you goes to Ms. Analiza, whose organization was flawless from start to finish. Communication was always clear, timely, and thoughtful, and I felt supported and well taken care of at every step. And then there is Mr. Badar, my guide, who truly made the experience special. He is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and deeply connected to his country. His insights and stories added depth and meaning to every place we visited, from the dramatic views of Jebel Shams to the quiet charm of the villages. This was more than just a tour—it was a carefully curated journey into Oman’s culture, history, and landscapes. If you’re looking for a private, authentic, and high-quality experience, Oman Landscape Tours is an excellent choice. Highly recommended and unforgettable.
A long day, very beautiful

5.00Super comfortable car and driver BADAR very attentive, prudent and kind. He also served as our cicero in Nizwa Fort. For a group of only two women, this was very important and reassuring. We visited very characteristic places (to reach the “Grand Canyon of Oman”) you pass through a road, partly dirt, that crosses a lunar landscape. The hike takes several hours, but it is absolutely worth it
A beautiful day in Oman

5.00We had a wonderful day touring Oman with Oman Landscape Tours, and it was made truly special by our guide, Badar. He was incredibly kind, a fantastic driver, especially on the off-road journey up to Jebel Shams, and he shared thoughtful and interesting insights into Omani culture throughout the day. The day was perfectly thoughtfully planned, beginning with Nizwa Fortress and the lively souq, where we caught the bd of the Friday goat market. Nizwa was followed by the stunning drive up to Jebel Shams. Pictures don’t do it justice, honest it! We then continued on to Al Hamra and the beautiful village of Misfah al Abryeen, where we stopped at a really cool coffee shop hidden in the village. Badar’s attention to detail and personal touches made the experience feel unique and memorable. From introducing us to a local coffee stop where you drive up and honk for service, to ensuring every part of the day felt special, we felt genuinely cared for throughout. We highly recommend Oman Landscape Tours, and especially Badar, for an unforgettable experience in Oman. Also, Analiza was fantastic to work with from point of booking to answering our questions. She made everything so easy.

5.00Great tour! Badar was an excellent guide. Jebel Shams is a must see when you travel in Muscat area. Pictures are not enough. You must travel there to see by yourself.
