By Alexandra Petersen(Oman)November 2, 2024 I HAD A TERRIFIC EXPERIENCEI had a terrific experience doing the one day, 8 hour birding tour of Muscat. I learned things about birds here that people who I've since met and who have been living here for years did not know. My guide, Badar, had everything perfectly arranged. He picked me up and dropped me off from my residence here, the stops were well timed for the species of birds and the position of the sun, a delicious lunch was provided, cold water and juices were available at all times, and we saw lots of birds! Badar is very knowledgeable about the birds of the region, as well as the wildlife. Another very helpful aspect was the communication before the day. What I needed to bring and wear was thoroughly explained.Date of Experience: November 01, 2024 -
Verified PurchaseBy Martin Zechner(Oman)October 29, 2023 I CAN’T WAIT TO COME BACK AND BOOK THE LONGER TOUR.This specialized excursion focuses on Dhofar’s birds which is an African base. The local guide had perfect characteristics and was amazingly expert on Birds and nature. He is very attentive, pleasant, outgoing, calm, and helpful. Well done Panorama Travel Team. I cannot wait to come back and book the longer tour. Regards Marin ZechnerDate of Experience: October 28, 2025
