5.00A thoroughly enjoyable half day tour! We were picked up direct from our hotel (as were all the others on the tour) and we visited the Grand Mosque, the Royal Opera House, Mutrah Souk, the Bait Al Zubair museum and the Royal Palace. Our guide, Jamal was excellent, giving the group a really well informed narrative throughout. He was able to answer all our questions and was really friendly and sensibly amusing. A really great way to see some amazing parts of Muscat.

5.00My first time in Muscat and Oman this tour gave me an idea what's around and what to see. Our tourguide Mahmood was super nice, friendly and answered all the questions I had about the culture, customes etc. I was extremely impressed by the fact, that not just that I got picked up at my hotel but also dropped off. Amazing and thank you !!! I also loved the option and choice of seeing the fort or the market. Again Mahmood accomodated all our requests :)

5.00The Grand Mosque was the highlight of the tour. Definite must do. Our guide guide was good with interesting information. Mutrah souq we were explored by ourselves or you could sit it out on the Cornish and watch the world go by.
Best Muscat tour with Jamal!

5.00This tour is interesting both in terms of history and also architecture. I did this tour with my family and our local guide was Jamal. He took us to the most important places in Muscat and explained all the history behind it. Jamal is a likeable, knowledgable and funny person. He also knows the best spots to take pictures. He's the goat. We enjoyed the tour so much more because of him. 10/10 guide. Thank you Jamal!
