5.00The experience was amazing. Our guide Ahmed told us a lot of interesting facts in our tour to Nizwa, Birkat Al Mouz and Jebel Akhdar. He was very friendly all the time and we had several nice conversations with him during our walks and time on the road. Thank you very much!
A trip to remember.

5.00Our trip to Nizwa and Jebel Akhdar was well timed and absolutely amazing. We explored everything and went to all the places in Nizwa and view points in Jebel Akhdar. Our guide, Mr Fawzi, is a very humble and helpful person. We totally enjoyed his company. Thanks to Oman sharing tours for organising this day tour.
Fun and venturesome
