We loved our Oman trip and your hospitality, such a fascinating country and great culture. We are trying to settle back down from traveling for 4 months. We have spoken to many people about our experience and there is a lot of interest in Oman. Most had never considered it as a destination. We will refer them to Panorama if they wish to visit.

By Jennifer Feenstra(Oman)May 21, 2015 Amazing OmanPanorama Travels made the week I spent in Oman with my parents a truly unforgettable experience. We did a tour of Muscat, Tiwi and Nakhl, as well as a four-day tour that included Nizwa, Sur, Jabal Akdar, and Raz Al-Jinz. Best of all was the overnight stay in the Wahiba Sands - superb! The guide, tailored the activities to our interests as he got to know us better and took us places far off the beaten track because he knew we'd enjoy what he showed us. And he answered all our questions, giving us a real insight into this amazing country and its lovely people.

By PATRICIA ANTELME(Oman)October 8, 2014 KHALID COULD NOT HAVE TAKEN BETTER CARE OF US“Dear Reem, With all good wishes for a Happy and Healthy2016. Reem, I can’t thank you enough for all your hard work on our behalf. Our visit to Oman was certainly a highlight of our travels and we loved every moment that we spent in your wonderful country. Khalid could not have taken better care of us, he was very considerate and anticipated our every need – moreover he was great fun to be with. It was more than kind of you to have bought a new wheelchair for my husband. He would not really have managed without it and so he too had a wonderful time and felt well. Khalid was especially patient with his requests for photo opportunities! Again our sincere thanks and if we are lucky enough to return I will be in touch with you. With all good wishes. Patricia”
