    Nous avons passé un très bon moment lors de notre excursion. Notre Chauffeur Fahad fut d’une gentille sans nom avec nous. Il a fait même plus que ce qui était prévu en nous emmenant dans des coins que seuls les locaux connaissent. Mention spéciale pour sa ponctualité et son humour à la omanaise.

    I must thank Abdullah for such wonderful ride to the Grand Canyon. It is remarkable. The lunch is yummy.

  3. Medina_Z

    Abdullah is truly an amazing person who knows a lot of history and was able to share knowledge about the Nizwah fort that was fascinating. The drive to the grand canyon of Oman was very exciting and the lunch stop was so lovely and charming. An amazing day with a kind soul who took us around to whatever markets we wanted to shop at!🙏🏻

    Abdullah was amazing and really informative. You could tell he knew a lot about history and took the time to explain everything to us – we did nizwa and jebel shams with him. The next day we sorted a tour to al ayn to see the famous beehive tombs as well as balha fort. Our guide was salim. He didn’t know anything really about balha and the fort itself was stunning but it didn’t have any information written in the rooms etc. Oman are in the process of improving this. However, he said little is known about the fort but we went home and googled it and there’s lots of info- salim just didn’t know a huge amount about it which was sad because we paid 130 for this tour. However, he was v competent taking us to al ayn to see the tombs. I think maybe just work on providing more information and improving knowledge – the rest was great

    Fantastic day exploring the souqs and fort of Nizwa followed by the glorious mountain landscapes and hairpin bends of Jebel Shams! Salim was an excellent guide and driver, photographer (!) and full of humour!

  6. Mike_S

    Good full day tour of Nizwa fort and market and the grand canyon. Good views and histories. Enjoyed it.

  7. MILTIADIS_S

    The old city of Nizwa was very colorful, neat and calm, and the castle visit was a unique experience.
    Driving to the canyon was another hour drive from Nizwa but the view. Was really rewarding!!! Breathtaking!! The hole drive from Muscat and back took us about 9 hours but we enjoyed the whole of it thanks to excellent company of our. Driver-guide Ali who apart from a real professional is a very kind and knowledgeable person with whom we exchanged openly views about our cultures and religions. Next time we visit Muscat we will look for him to be our exclusive guide.

    Vielen Dank für einen erlebnisreichen Tag mit unserem exzellenten Guide Salim nach Nizwa und zum Jabal Shams. Der Tiermarkt ist ein Erlebnis, auch wenn man dafür etwas früher aufstehen muss. Salim hat uns den ganzen Tag viel über die Sehenswürdigkeiten, Land und Leute erklärt und war mit seiner Aufmerksamkeit und Herzlichkeit der perfekte Begleiter. Um uns einen Gefallen zu tun, haben wir am Rückweg nach Muscat sogar noch einen Abstecher nach Birkat Al Mouz für einen kurzen Fotostopp gemacht. Danke Salim für diesen wunderschönen Ausflug!

    This trip may be expensive but the visits to two major in-land sights were a perfect and needed addition to our Muscat vacation.
    Salim was our guide and driver and he provided much insight as well as understanding of the Omani history and culture.
    A long day with quite long driving distances, but maybe the best day of our holiday.

    Interesting tour with excellent local tour guide. Strongly recommend. Abdullah is an Omani local who is knowledgeable about everything in Oman. You won’t get bored in this trip

  11. Kare_R

    Other than a fantastic tour with awesome sights we had a long conversation with Nassar about Oman and the culture and religion. He is a gem! Taking the time and genuine interest in explaining. We learned a lot and saw fantastic things. What an awesome day! Thank you!

    Io souk di nizwa è stato interessante per vedere le differenze con quello di Muscat, ma la giornata ci ha entusiasma per la visita al gran canyon dell’Oman, assolutamente da vedere. La nostra guida è sempre stata attenta a che tutte le escursioni fossero per noi perfette.

  13. Lahcen_A

    Awesome it’s worth it. The guide was so nice. It’s a bit far from Muscat but apart from them, everyone should go there
    Awesome food as well.

    Herzlichen Dank an Ali, er hat uns einen wunderschönen Tag beschert. Wir wurden pünktlich abgeholt, sind durch eine interessante Landschaft nach Nizwa gefahren. Dort hat uns Ali die Stadt und das Fort gezeigt und ist mit uns durch den Souk gelaufen und hat uns alles wunderbar erklärt. Danach sind wir in die Berge zum Jabal Shams gefahren, inclusive einer faszinierenden Offroadtour. Ein tolles Erlebnis! Die Aussicht ist einfach spektakulär!! Auf dem Weg dorthin haben wir in einem kleinen Restaurant unterwegs zu Mittag gegessen, typisch arabisches Gegrilltes, was sehr gut geschmeckt hat. Dann ging es zurück nach Maskat.
    Insgesamt verbringt man viel Zeit im Auto, aber das ist ja bereits im Vorfeld bekannt und die Landschaft durch die man fährt ist wunderschön.
    Wir waren von unserem Guide Ali einfach nur begeistert, er hat uns viel erzählt, war immer freundlich, hilfsbereit und wir hatten viel Spaß mit ihm. Man merkt ihm an dass ihm sein Job Spaß macht und es ihm wichtig ist dass seine Gäste sich wohlfühlen. Danke Ali, wir hatten einen tollen Tag!!

    Nasser was an amazing guide and gave me such good perspective about Oman, its people, culture and history. The sites were interesting and spectacular.

  17. Pamela_M

    One of the most memorable and best tours I did on my two week vacation. It was amazing going to hit the news well forward and being able to see the performers performing at the fork on a Saturday. Highly recommend it. And going to the mountains was breathtakingly beautiful. Our guy was amazing and had great music, clean the car and meet. Our travel seems amazing.

  18. Fiona_W

    Our trip to Nizwa was an unforgettable experience! We had an opportunity to get to know more about the history of Oman and its lovely people and culture. We tried some delicious food and drinks and felt very welcomed by everyone we met on the way. The whole trip was nicely rounded off by breathtaking views from the Jabal Shams. Definitely one of the most impressive sites that we have ever seen. The added bonus to the whole experience was our guide Ali, who couldn’t have been more kind and knowledgeable. We are definitely coming back and would 100% recommend Ali and this whole trip.
