From Muscat: 6-day Adventure Across Oman

Excellent trip. Our guide Jamal was fantastic- very knowledgeable, and made everything interesting. Highlight was Wadi Shab, but the joy of this trip is that there is so much variety, with culture, desert, mountains, beach … and two Wadis! Hotels good standard. Would highly recommend.

The highlight of this tour was undoubtedly the guide, Saeed. He was full of information about Omani culture, very accommodating of everybody’s needs, pleasant disposition and just a genuine nice guy. Highly recommended

Overall, it was a very pleasant and well-organized tour experience. Saeed, our guide, did an excellent job throughout the trip. He was professional, attentive, and genuinely considerate of everyone in the group. It was clear that he cared about making sure all participants felt comfortable and included. I also really appreciated how friendly and respectful the group members were—traveling together was smooth and enjoyable thanks to the good atmosphere. Oman may not be a country with an overwhelming number of famous landmarks, but it has a quiet dignity and a strong sense of tradition. I was impressed by how well the country preserves its cultural heritage while maintaining a calm and refined character. At the same time, Oman offers surprisingly diverse natural landscapes—from mountains to wadis to the desert. The desert experience, in particular, was a highlight and truly memorable. The hotels were of good quality and exceeded expectations in terms of comfort and cleanliness. One small downside was the food experience. Opportunities to try authentic Omani traditional cuisine were quite limited, and the meals tended to feel repetitive and somewhat monotonous. This was a bit disappointing, as food is an important part of understanding local culture. That said, overall this was a very satisfying trip, and I would still recommend the program—especially for those who appreciate culture, nature, and a calm, respectful travel environment.

We had an amazing experience in Oman. The guide Saeed and the driver Saleh made the trip feel effortless. Saeed was very patient, organized, and knowledgable, and he always looked for ways to help the group enjoy the moments we had. Saleh made every ride pleasant, with a great attitude and punctuality. The itinerary felt very packed though. I wish we had more time to enjoy each activity (maybe utilize the full 6 days as advertised).

The trip was excellent. Said, our tour guide, went above and beyond to make sure that everyone was having a great time and learning along the way. He was very attentive and kind throughout the trip. Our driver, Saleh, was very friendly, committed, and always on time. Between the two of them, we were in very good hands. One point of improvement would be the overall schedule -- it felt a bit compact, which meant that we didn't have enough time to make the most of each activity. The trip is essentially 4.5 days (not 6 as advertised), as the first day is a free day, and second day is a half day. Said did his best to move things around so we could spend more time in each activity, but there was only so much he could do, as the schedule is already set by the agency. I would skip the trip to Amouage factory, as there wasn't much learning or sightseeing. Overall, it was a great trip; the group was lovely and everyone had a great time!

Everything was excellent. Pure Commitment Reliable, Friendly, Kind Staff (Beyond expectations). I thank you all not to mention Saeed The Great, The Quintessence of Tour Guides.

We really enjoyed our 5 days package through OMAN. The other tourists in our group (11 in total) came from all corners of the world: Italy, South Korea, Philippines, Germany, Algeria, France, South Africa, Belgium and India. This made the trip even more interesting. Our tour guide SAEED (from Oman) was absolutely perfect. He was very friendly, fun and answered all our questions in fluent English. He was very flexible with the schedule and also responded positively to our special request to drive to a special coffee shop every morning. We greatly recommend him to everyone.

Wonderful experience on the tour with Saeed and Saleh. Said was very knowledgeable and explained details about culture, customs and history of Oman. The tour allowed seeing all sights of Oman within a good time. Very good communication and organisation by Saeed Would highly recommend booking GidOman tours

Our 5-day tour of Oman with Yaqoob Alhabi was absolutely outstanding, thanks entirely to his expertise. As a driver, he was exceptionally safe and professional, making every journey comfortable, especially on mountain and desert roads. As a guide, his deep knowledge of Omani culture and history brought every location to life, far exceeding our expectations for a typical tour. Yaqoob's warm, engaging personality and attentive service made him the perfect ambassador for Oman, and we highly recommend him to anyone visiting the region.

I visited Oman for a short period of only 5 days in March 2025. I booked daily tours from Muscat with GidOman to some attractions in Oman, including city tour in Muscat, amazing Wadi Bani Khalid swiming in warm waters, stunning sunset in the desert, visiting historic city of Nizwa, views of the green terraces in Jebel Akhdar, Bimmah Sinkhole and the highlight of my trip in Wadi Shab with a beautiful canyon and natural crystal pools. For the grand finale I took a boat trip to the Daymaniyat Islands, I could not imagine this paradise near Muscat, I have never seen so many turtles in my life! Communication with GidOman was smooth, every day I received a message with the pick-up times from the hotel and also the contact details of the guide. On each day tour I had a different guide - Jamal, Mohammed, Qais, Mazin, Roman, they were all extremely polite, helpful and very knowledgeable about Omani culture. Despite the Ramadan period, the guides always made an effort to find places to buy food for lunch, as most restaurants are closed during this period. Transfers from the airport to the hotel were also arranged by GidOman. Oman is an incredible country, with nature, history, culture and extremely welcoming people. I really recommend Gidoman to discover the wonders of Oman!

The wadis, desert and mountains private tour was very well organized by GidOman. All the activities were booked as we had requested (we changed the tour slightly with two nights in the desert and two nights in the mountains). GidOman was always easy to reach via WhatsApp and responded quickly to questions and concerns. At the Turtle Reserve, we even got an upgrade to the Turtle Beach Resort instead of Sama Ras Al Jinz. We are very satisfied with GidOman and can recommend them without reservation. Every pick up by GidOman was always on time. My sister and I have celiac disease, which means that we have to eat gluten-free. This condition is not well known in Oman, but together with Aziz (our guide) we found a large selection of gluten-free bread in an organic supermarket in Muscat (Al fair) and GidOman also took care of it. The heart of our trip was our guide Aziz. We always felt very comfortable and safe with him and he really enriched the trip with his pleasant and funny demeanor. He knows the best photo spots and knows exactly when it's best to be at which activity. This allowed us to relax and unwind. Aziz was always on time, always friendly, and always well prepared for the activities (water, flashlight, waterproof cell phone case,...). He answered a lot of questions about Omani culture. Our impression is also that we were accompanied by an Omani, so we were even closer to the Omani culture. We were able to gain a lot of insights into this great country! The car was very well equipped, very comfortable and was up to all requirements from desert to mountains. Thank you very much for this great vacation!

Ilyas stands head and shoulders above any other guide I have ever had in my 40 years global travel. His high level of expertise cannot be overstated. Ilyas fills the tour days and nights with local anecdotal information not written about in books. At the same time, he listens keenly to the responses and tailors the activities, timings and trip details according to the needs and preferences of his clients. He showed me hidden gems and shared information that I am sure other guides are not aware of or not inclined to go the extra mile to share. I am so grateful for his outstanding connections, love of seafood, and genuine heartfelt love and pride of his countrymen. I look forward to staying in touch with him and all the other fantastic people I met in Oman

We looked in Oman as much as we could see in 8 days and of course thanks to GidOman . Excursions (except for the sea) were held on the Toyota 4x4 car, no matter how tired we were for the whole day, getting into a clean car and moving on, we felt at home. None of our requests were ignored, we did not have time to buy local spices, so our guide brought them to the hotel the day before departure and simply presented them. All excursions are full of information about the country and local beauties, the guide brought us to such beautiful viewpoints where we didn’t meet anyone else, I think that no one really takes them there, this is his personal initiative to show everything possible and impossible in such a short time to give the maximum idea of ​​the beauties of Oman. . Impressions go off scale, so if you decide to get to know the country better and want to travel around the country and enjoy the trip, we advise you to use the services of this travel company, you will return home full of the best memories and the greatest satisfaction from the trip.

Chose the agency GuideOman to get acquainted with the new country for us - Oman. We were very pleased! We took three tours for ourselves and all three were perfectly organized, with fully elaborate itineraries, punctual and pleasant guides and comfortable transportation. 1 tour - Getting to know the capital of Oman - Muscat Excellent sightseeing tour of the capital, saw all the main sights of Muscat: the main mosque, the Royal Opera, the ancient market, the royal palace. Everything is convenient, interesting, and most importantly without haste🌟 Next tour - Wadi Bani Khalid Valley and Wahiba Desert Incredible nature, azure oases among the rocks and, of course, the enchanting Wahiba desert. Very atmospheric, many beautiful dots for photos, the guide made the trip easy and rich. And another equally wonderful tour was a trip to Wadi Shab Scenic location with crystal clear water and natural pools. One of Oman's Most Beautiful Places, I advise everyone, for once in their lives, to visit. In conclusion, I would like to thank the entire GuideOman team for making our holiday in Oman so wonderful. The agency works very professionally, with concern for the comfort and experience of tourists. Well-chosen routes, professional guides, comfortable car, manager who is in touch with you for any questions! Definitely recommended! ❤️

Very well organized group tour. Communication was very good, both the driver who picked me up from the airport and Saeed, the tour guide, each contacted in advance to agree on the details. The trip itself was well planned and almost all stops very nice. Highlights were the wadis and the desert. The hotels were very appealing, clean and with good food. The highlight was Saeed, the tour guide, who gave a lot of useful information and insights into the country as well as being available for all questions and clarified organizational details. The only thing I didn't like so much was the timing sometimes. There was a lot of time planned for souvenir shopping in very toristic souks and a perfume sale, but time for the museums was sometimes a bit tight. But that's certainly a matter of taste.
