WONDERFUL TOURS OF DHOFAR

Dear Reem, Thank you for organizing our holiday. The accommodation, the meals & the tours were Excellent. Our day trip exploring Dhofar was extraordinary. Ahmed was a fantastic guide, he introduced the city's history and current development very well. We love the UNESCO sites & The frankincense museum. We loved the birding day. It was our first birding tour, and the experience was beyond expectations. The western coast was the highlight of your trip. We love the secret beach and swimming in crystal clear waters. I recommend you to anyone wanting a fun, relaxed, educational holiday with fine food. It was a wonderful tour of Dhofar as you recommended. Regards Waheed Al Owaiyesh Kuwait
