OUR TOUR GUIDE WAS TRULY AMAZING

Hi Reem, Thank you for taking care of our tours. Mohammed our tour guide, was truly amazing. We felt like We hired a friend. He was so nice and accommodating. He was professional yet personable. The first day was a great combination of exploring Nizwa Fort & Nizwa ancient market as well as the very nice mountain hike. The second day in the desert was brilliant as you advised. We plan on a longer visiting Oman again and if available I would request Mohammed. Best Regards Michael & Laura

THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY FIRST-TIME TRIP TO IMAN FANTASTIC

Hello. I wanted to give some feedback about my trip to Nizwa. I have been to and toured almost every continent in this world. But today I truly experienced my “wow” tour guide. Badr was exceptional from the prompt pick-up to the kind goodbye. I learned and saw not only about Nizwa and the surrounding mountains. But had a unique waterfall and stream-crossing adventure. Thank you for making my first trip to Oman fantastic. I hope Insha Allah to come back for more tours. Keep up your amazing work. 🙏🏾🇴🇲
