As a person that isn't a very active traveller .....Oman has been my first dedicated visit as a vacation destination ....we went as a family and were greeted with Mr Musab [our murshid] at the airport ...he was thoughtful enough to get us some welcoming snacks and escorted us to our hotel in his car ...as a history geek personly i enjoyed where he explained about Oman as a country and how the monarchy have been ruling over there he explained Oman's heritage and traditions and how it became an islamic country ....i was most excited for the horse riding and i had a white pure bred ARABIAN horse i had an amazing time with it and we when to the islands and did snorkling i was afraid at first as a person who doesnt know any swimming but we were provided with life jackets and had a really good time we saw turtles underwater which were very close to us ...we felt really close to nature and this was all because of the coordination of our tour operator and Oman Compass Tours and i am definetly looking forward for more oman trips ..i find Oman a underrated tour destination ...If you want to enjoy the beauty of gulf then opt Oman instead of dubai where you can actually see the traditions still thriving deep within the people of Oman..... they are were hospitable and humble ... my advise just go for Oman and you wont regret it !!!

Oman, best described as an undiscovered gem for its breath taking wadis to beautiful beaches. But to do oman right….go with Oman compass travels, Travel with them was really comfortable for me and my family as the trip was well planed ….they had planed for the stay, travel and food. (which by the way was really good, highly recommend omani cuisine btw) my family really enjoyed it….it was a total of 9-10 days trip …really recommend compass tours ……they know the best places in oman and how to best experience them. Wadi mibam, wadi bani khalid, snorkelling with turtles in the ad dimaniyat and horse riding the entire bahla city were among my top picks but the trip is waaaaay more than that…..also turtles are my favourite animals from 🐢🐢🐢

Ali showed us the best of Oman in just 8 days: wadis, forts, deserts, and mountains. The 4WD was comfortable and spotless, making long drives easy. Hotels were well-selected, offering excellent food and service. Swimming at Wadi Bani Khaled and watching turtles at Ras Al Jinz were magical moments. Ali explained Omani culture and history with warmth, which made every stop more meaningful. Oman Compass Tours organized everything so smoothly that we never worried about logistics. This was more than a holiday—it was an introduction to the heart of Oman. Truly unforgettable! Oman Compass Tours – [email protected] | +96892255028

Oman blew me away completely with with this adventure! As a must visit Wahiba Sands, ride the camels, and enjoy the desert camp nestled between the sand dunes - pure magic. This desert is like nothing I've ever seen. The trip went without any issues - everything was as agreed. Many thanks to our expert guide Musab. He shared deep insights on Oman's traditions and accommodated all our wishes throughout the trip. Please do not skip the Wadi Shab's turquoise pools surrounded by mountains and palms. Just amazing! Highlands stole the show with Jabal al Akhdar’s terraced farms, smoked rose water, and Wadi Bani Khalid's unreal beauty, plus Bimmah Sinkhole, Sur, and Nizwa's fort and souq. Muscat was a completely different story with the grandness of Royal Opera House elegance, Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque serenity, and Muttrah souq's frankincense. All in all a great organized tour, encompassing all important and amazing scenery of Oman. Felt like I fully experienced Oman and it's people and culture. Nothing was ever rushed and we had enough time to really enjoy the good things of Oman. Recommended for basically everyone.

Wow, what an experience. Oman Compass Tours showed us an amazing time. We started off in Muscat with the mesmerizing and beautiful architecture of Royal Opera House and the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, as well as the quaint and charming Muttrah souq. The smell of frankincense followed us everywhere throughout the city. Spices, perfumes, traditional clothing, souvenirs - everything can be bought there for great prices. Touring Muscat was very exciting with grand architecture as well as peaceful when needed with natural spots and scenic views. Throughout the journey, our private guide Musab was very professional and knowledgeable, always ready to share information about the country, traditions, values as well as detailed answers about every question we had and every attraction we saw. He was very flexible and ready to accommodate us whenever we had specific wishes about itinerary, food and spots to relax during the trip. Due to my health issue I needed to go to the emergency room and Musab was very kind to pick me up at the middle of the night from the hotel, take me to the hospital and wait with me while I was checked out by the doctor. Just amazing service and hospitality. Organization of the trip was exceptional, everything was custom tailored to our wishes beforehand. We contacted the company via the official WhatsApp (+96892255028) and email [email protected] to organize things in advance. We expressed that we wanted to spend more time in places like Wadi Shab and the Wahiba Sands - which were also definitely our favorite parts of Oman. Amazing natural clear water pools, surrounded by palm trees and steep mountains in Wadi Shab, while on the other hand Wahiba Sands offered exceptional desert experience with dune bashing, camel riding and sunset/sunrise gazing. We stayed at the Arabian Oryx Camp in the desert and we definitely recommend it to everyone. Throughout the trip we visited many cool places like Sur and Nizwa (amazing fort and souq, very much worth the visit), Bimmah Sinkhole (natural wonder), Ras Al Jinz turtle reserve - as well as mountainous areas with Birkat Al Mouz, Jabal al Akhdar as well as scenic views of terraced farms, traditional stone houses and villages. And I must not forget about Wadi Bani Khalid - just wow - you have to visit it to believe it. Food we tried was also great, a lot of different choices everywhere with very low prices (tip: try the national dish Shuwa at Bait al Lubal restaurant in Muscat). Our tour was carried out with 3 different vehicles - Mitsubishi Pajero and Toyota Land Cruiser for rougher terrains, as well as Lexus LS 460 for the Muscat tour. All of them offered amazing comfort throughout the journey. I also have to mention the Intercity hotels that we stayed at - just a perfect blend of great offers, value and luxury. Definitely a 10/10 experience that was carefully planned and executed by the Compass Tours agency. Will be using their services again as soon as we get some more vacation days :)
