YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A GEOLOGIST TO ENJOY THIS FANTASTIC TRIP

Dear Ream & Panorama Travel Team, Thank you for the great day. You don't have to be a geologist to enjoy this fantastic trip. We learned a lot from Issam about geological periods, and the rock formations were mainly sediments. I love the great extinction site. Too many photos & too many beautiful memories to count. We enjoyed the trip so much. Allan Myer

BRILLIANTLY DAY TOURS AND WELL-ORGANISED

Hello Fatima, Thank you, brilliantly day tours and well-organised We thoroughly enjoyed our 3-days of tours with Issam. We had done a week of tours with a cruise around the Arabian Gulf, but must say that Panorama Travel’s tours were the best. Issam deeply understands the area's history, which made the experience come alive. The way he presented the places he took us to and the order in which he presented them gave us a genuine appreciation of Oman's history and geology. We recommend Panorama Travel & Issam to friends and associates planning a trip to Oman. Many thanks. Yazan Bisharah

ISSAM AND BADAR WERE SUPER KNOWLEDGEABLE

Dear Reem, Thank you for organizing this great day for us. Issam and Badar were super knowledgeable. The explanation of the geology of every site we visited is what made the trip for me. Overall our experience was fantastic, we loved the fossil sites. Highly recommends. Best wishes, Youssef El Chazli

THE TOURS WAS CAREFULLY PLANNED AND BEAUTIFULLY CARRIED OUT

Thank you for the two brilliant geology day tours, the tours were carefully planned and beautifully carried out. We learned about continental collisions, mountain-building, erosion, the opening and closing of oceans, rock formations, folds and faults, great extinction, and more! The guides were excellent teachers and shared their deep knowledge of the Sultanat's geoheritage and culture. The explanation of the 4,800 million years of the formation of the earth into 1 year and how the events occurred from the atmosphere formation to the occurrence of humans was so interesting. The picnics at the top of the MOHO & the ancient ocean floor were planned very well. We had a lot of fun! This was my first Panorama Travel Geo trip, and I look forward to joining the longer trip. Thank you for the wonderful time David Patel
