        Amazing full day tour in Nizwa and in the wild
        Highly recommend. Great tour with amazing view of the mountain and Nizwa. Our guide Bu Mashari is very nice and professional. Really enjoyed this full day trip.

        Enjoying the Great Outdoors of Oman!
        We enjoyed a fantastic day exploring the countryside of Oman on this private tour. Our guide Fawzi Muhammad was super friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. He shared so much about Omani custom and culture on the drive. We were left with a much deeper understanding and appreciation of the country. After getting picked up at our hotel, we first checked out Nizwa Fort. Had plenty of time to explore and take photos of the beautiful compound. We also got see oryxes and feed a camel in the garden. Nizwa Fort was definitely a highlight of the trip. Another highlight was Jebel Shams. We drove along paved and gravel roads to experience the rugged mountainous terrain. Enjoyed incredible views from up top. It’s sometimes easy to forget how the Arabian Peninsula isn’t just flat desert. :) Topping it off were late afternoon photo stops of Bahla Fort and Nizwa Mosque. They weren’t officially part of the tour. We really appreciated Fawzi’s flexibility adding in these stops as they’re architectural gems. Oman has a diverse array of landscapes - the desert, ocean, oasis, canyons and mountains. After visiting the cityscapes of Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha, it was great to explore the great outdoors of Oman. Be prepared for a long day. Maybe 10-11 hours. It’s time well spent if you want to leave Muscat to see a different side of Oman. Highly recommend this tour!

        Day trip to Wahiba Sands
        I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the incredible day trip to Wahiba Sands dune and Wadi Bani Khalid. It was truly an enjoyable experience, and I couldn't have asked for a better guide than Mohammed. Mohammed's expertise and hospitality added immense value to the trip, ensuring that every moment was memorable. His enthusiasm and dedication to making the day special did not go unnoticed. Thank you, Mohammed, for your wonderful guidance and for contributing to a day that I will cherish. I appreciate the exceptional service provided by Wabar Tours and look forward to more adventures with your team in the future.

        Excellent and well-organised tour
        The planning and organisation of the tour Malak 6 Days was excellent. We could customize the tour with some additional stops, e.g. balcony walk at Jabel Shams. The 4x4 vehicle was very comfortable and our driver was not in a rush so that we had always enough time for sightseeing and walking/hiking. The tour is a great combination of cities, wadis, forts, old villages, desert and mountains. We enjoyed the tour very much and can highly recommend Discover Mazoon Tours.

        We had 2 great tours with Ali. Firstly of Muacat and then to Nizwa/Jebel Shams. Ali was helpful and freindly as well as informative and never hurried us at all. Comfortable 4x4 with plenty of space. Would recommend both the company and the destinations

        A great experience
        Jaffar was an excellent experienced and very personable guide. He knows all about not only the places we visited, but also about Oman, its people, culture, government, history, and religious practices. We travelled in air conditioned comfort, had lunch in a lovely restaurant, and experienced a 20 minute walk from one village to another surrounded by mountains and rugged scenery.

        Nice day in Nizwa and Jebel Akhdar
        This is a nice tour, also for the very hot summer days. Jafaar was a very attentive guide. In the morning we went first to Nizwa to the see the souk and the fort. Afterwards we headed to the green mountains (Jebel Akhdar), where we first visited an rose oil and rose water production place. After that I could do a small walk through the terraces by myself, while Jafaar waited on the other end with the car. We had lunch at a very nice restaurant in a terrace outside, since in the mountains with wind the temperature gets more enjoyable. After a last beautiful view from the region from Diana's viewpoint we headed back to Muscat.

        Amazing experience in Oman
        Me and my family went on two trips with the company, and both experiences were incredible. We did the Wadi Shab/sinkhole trip and the half day Muscat city tour of which we had Nasser for both. It was a great experience to have with the kids and they personally loved the Wadi Shab the most. Overall I would highly recommend both, and it is great opportunity to explore Muscat.

        Perfect day in Nizwa and the Jebel Shams
        Picked up at the airport as agreed and taken with a comfortable 4x4 driven by a very friendly and knowledgeable guide to great outdoors combined with some history of Oman. What else do you need? I highly recommend this company and Jamal, the guide. The trip was worth every penny. It was not rushed at all. I had time to explore the sukh on my own, walk around the places at my own pace and take pictures, and enjoy lunch. Next time I'm in Oman I will definitely do another tour with Jamal.

        Oman day trip
        My wife and I really enjoyed this trip. In particular our guide Nassar spoke excellent English and was able to give us interesting insights into how the country has developed since the early 70s and also what it is like to live in Oman. He was also very unassuming and did not seek to push us to buy any local merchandise, which is something we have experienced in other countries. Overall we would thoroughly recommend this trip and Nassar as a guide.

      Our guide for this half day tour was Salim. His local knowledge was amazing and made the tour. From the outset we were contacted by Abdullah to clarify everything and it just got better from there. Salim turned up exactly on time and he gave us an overview of his counrty on the journey to Muscat. Visited the following. Grand Mosque, Market, Souq, Sultans Palce & Fort. Very happy and would highly recommed.
      Best and most welcoming part of the middle east I have visited.

      I have written hundreds of reviews and believe in the power of feedback: I hope you find my review helpful.

      This is the perfect first-day introduction to both Muscat and Oman and our guide, Salem, was the personification of hospitality, kindness and excellence.

      The best part of the tour for us was the views atop the Mutrah Fort. Just spectacular views and well worth the stairs to get there.

      We personally skipped the museum as was our choice.

      The Grand Mosque was amazing. Stunning.

      I cannot say enough about Salem. He was the perfect first-day ambassador as a tour guide. He put us at ease and allowed us to go with the flow. Well done, Salem!

      1/2 day tour is perfect for your first full-day in Muscat.

      This was a great tour and let us (my senior citizen mom & I) experience Muscat with a local. Way better than anything the cruise lines offered! Our guide answered all our questions and was incredibly kind. We don’t like shopping so we spent more time at the other sites. We highly recommend it! 5 stars plus.

      P.S. Make sure that you have suitable clothes for the visit of the mosque (women should have the whole body and head covered).
