Dear Fatima, Thank you for the superb week exploring Dhofar. I am writing to express my heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional service and assistance your employee Reem Ahmed and our guide Sohail provided during my recent experience in Dhofar for me and my family members. The level of professionalism, efficiency, and customer care demonstrated by Reem truly made a positive impact on my travel arrangements. The day tours were a great mix.
