Private half day tour of Muscat
David C,Feb 27, 2026

5.00This was a very enjoyable half day seeing a number of the main sites in Muscat. The Sultan Qaboos mosque and the Royal Opera House are both stunning (the mosque is, imo, better than the one in Abu Dhabi - more intimate and with excellent explanation of the key tenets of Islam from the volunteers there). Old Muscat was also veri interesting. Mahmoud, our guide, was excellent and tailored the tour to our wishes. He seemed to know everyone we met!
Great value for money

3.00The guide was very kind in taking us in different sites and offering us the local food and beverages. We expected more explanation of Omani culture and history, and of the places we visited. Other guides did so, as we could hear durino our trip

5.00Really enjoyable morning with our guide, Saif. We had picked to do this tour on Friday morning so we’re a little limited as some places were closed but that really didn’t take away from an informative and enjoyable tour of Muscat. The pace was great and we saw all the main sites and had a couple of Omani food stops along the way!
An unforgettable day
