We were very fortunate to have Saif as our guide who provided us with a fascinating and in depth tour of Muscat. We visited Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, The Opera House, Old Muscat, a souk and the Barr Al Jissah resort. Saif was very client focused, spoke flawless English and introduced us to Omani history and touching on many aspects of its culture - would highly recommend.

Can thoroughly recommend this tour if you want to get a great insight into Muscat and Oman is half a day. You see all the main sights and visit inside those that you request. Faisal made it a truly memorable experience. He is very knowledgeable and also flexible. He shared his personal experiences as an Omani and this really enhanced our enjoyment. Do not miss the Omani bread and tea at his favourite cafe!

We were very happy to have Muneer as a tour guide. Muneer was very friendly and knowledgeable on the sites we‘ve visited. We had already visited Mutrah before and he adjusted our city tour according to our wishes, and took us to beautiful view point of the sea instead. We enjoyed also the Omani tea & bread that was included in the tour. Muneer assisted also in the further plans for the day and helped to communicate with the locals. He went the extra mile for us. 🌹We definitely recommend the tour with Muneer. 🌟

Our guide Ahmed al Gamari was very knowledgeable and told us very much about his country Oman and the city of Muscat. He showed us all the interesting places like the mosque and we could also take a tour through the opera house. He was also very helpful with his car and helped us with the electric wheelchair that my wife has to use. He even bought us something to eat and a tea for lunch so we could savour the taste of Oman food. I can fully recommend him as a tour guide.
