Muttrah Fort is located in the Wilayat of Muttrah in the Muscat Governorate, Sultanate of Oman. Muttrah Castle is located on the seashore, overlooking the Gulf of Oman. It stands tall in front of the sea, inhaling its air, which is filled with the scent of memories of the ships that traveled back and forth, and within it are events and facts that bear faithful witness to it, and it remains one of its witnesses and landmarks that are inseparable from its events and facts. From above a rocky outcrop close to the beach and at the top of a narrow rocky plateau, the Muttrah Fort overlooks high, united with its ancient past, Hash Bash, with its bright present.

Met at the airport after a 4hour delay by Yahya, such a nice guy. Gave us his number just in case we needed him during the week. Contacted him with a view to seeing the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque. He arranged his colleague (much more handsome ( inside joke) Mahmoud, to take us and he was the most informative and helpful guy you could wish to meet. Expecting to be dropped off and collected later he stayed with us, sorted out hire of clothing, walked us through, took photos and generally made our morning very pleasurable. Would not hesitate to recommend these guys and will definitely use them again on our next visit.
We had a very good taxi tour today and I would recommend to others. The places to visit are spread out across Muscat so a car is essential. The benefit of this type of tour is that you can spend as long or as little at each place to suit you. The Grand Mosque was particularly impressive. Our driver gave us information about each visit and added in more places to see as there were some closures due to Eid.
Our guide was punctual and friendly, and gave us some general information about Oman and the places we visited. The car was clean and comfortable with AC. Overall, we would recommend the tour.
Yahya was very kind and helpful He showed us very beautiful places in muscat We did not regret choosing this service and I strongly recommend it
Thank you Yahya, your Drive and Tour to Muscat was great. We highly suggest Oman Taxi Tours, kindly, precise,Professional.
Excellent diver knowledgeable and very obliging nothing was to Much trouble can’t recommend him enough he is an assets
Car was send without guide. When contacted local office he said guide was ill. We should have been informed earlier so that we can book another tour. We went around but was not able to know history of any place. You should take our money back from local agent and refund it to us. Will be waiting for your response.
We went on a 8-9 private tour to Wahiba Sands and Wadi ibn Khalid. We also get a taxi drive to and from the airport. Everything was excellent. Very professional, respectful driver/tourguide. They helped us a lot to get to know Muscat from a local view. We highly recommand this company. Verry reliable and if you travel alone or only women this is very safe and trustworthy. Oman is beautiful, like a fairytale. The people are very polite and kind. We enjoyed everything.
Although I had perfect communication before arrival, I was disappointed to find that this firm provided a driver not a guide. I expected to be told about the history and diversity of the city, and the sites that we were visiting. That was not possible, as my driver did not speak, conversant English. This may have been a function of the person who drove me around, but I was disappointed by the service. Zero enthusiasm from this guide.
Beautiful trip to Muscat. Our taxi driver suggested us the best places to visit (the Grand Mosque, the Mutrah Souq and the royal opera house). We reccomend this experience
Our tour guide Yahya actually came inside the airport to escorted us to the car he supplied is with water. We truly enjoyed the Sultan Gaboos Grand Mosque, the city is very beautiful, we enjoyed seeing the architectural structures, the Souq. We definitely would love to return to see more areas in Oman when it is cooler.
Very nice driver with a well maintained Lexus car. Limited English but it doesn't bother us at all. It's nice to be punctual every time here in Middle East.
The tour was amazing! Honestly it's the best choice if you want to see the city and learn more about the history of the city. Our driver and guide Yahia was very professional and knowledgable and I learned so many things about Muscat. We covered all the main attractions. I totally recommend it.
Yahya the taxi operator was excellent Punctual efficient helpful and constantly in touch with our needs Courteous He fetched us from the airport to our hotel And did a tour of Muscat city and the sinkhole
Nassir was a GREAT guide. Warm. Knowledgeable. Easy flow. Incredibly kind. I highly recommend him and his brother’s services.
I visited Muscat in Jan 2023. Mr. Yahya picked me up at the airport, another day I explored Muscat for half a day using Mr. Yahya as tour guide. He was very helpful, friendly, punctual and knows interesting spots that can be covered by tourists. I’m very satisfied with his service and highly recommended his service for anyone that travels to beautiful Muscat. I hope to visit Oman again in future and use your service, exploring different things
Tour guide was a taxi driver who spoke very little English. He did not explain anything about the history of Muscat. He would pass a site point and say this. Tour was to include entry fee into Bait Al Zubair but he had money. Tour was a total waste of good money
It was very great. We saw all the highlights in Muscat in this tour. He was really nice and explained everything very well. Thank you!
Yahya was highly reliable and was very accommodating to my short schedule in Muscat. He worked with me to tailor an agenda that might my time and interests. As a solo female traveler, I felt safe on his tour. He was gracious and waited as long as I wanted at museum and other stops. Plus, he provided snacks, which was a nice surprise! I recommend him as a tour guide in Oman.
I drove with Yaha from The airport to my hotel and it all went smooth. I also went on a tour around Oman with him, where he showed me some great places and spots. Yaha is a very good and friendly guide. Best recommandations
Excellent person, very kind and available! Pick up time respected at all and the 2 hours tour included all the most important place of muscat! Consigliatissimo! 👍🏽
We landed in Oman just for a 15h transfer and we decider to book a very short tour of Muscat. We found Yahya a very nice and kind guide. He showed us the most important things of the city. His car was clean and well air-conditioned (it was 44 degrees c), he spoke a good English as well so we could communicate easily. He also bought us some goodbye snacks and gave us free bottled-water. Will definitely do again, he made us feel princesses! :)
The tour was perfect, tailored to our needs, the arrangement was smooth and easy, highly recommended. Our guide gave us a thorough insight in Oman's culture and history and even surprised us with a couple of places that weren't on the itinerary. We had a wonderful time with Yahya, our guide. A great choice If You want an authentic Oman experience. Our best to Yahya, whom we consider a friend after the tour.
Amazing service. Only taxi service I would use. Showed us some beautiful view points. More than reasonable with pricing. On time.
For the most awesome service in awesome Oman look no further than this Oman Taxi service. Best value for money.
Can throughly recommend the tours offered by Yahya at Omani Taxis. We really enjoyed the excellent half day tour that we took. Yahya was knowledgeable and showed us the highlights of the City and the fact that my wife is wheelchair reliant was no obstacle.
I visited Muscat on 24th Dec 2019 for 3 nights only. I explored Muscat for a day using Mr. Yahya as our tour guide. We also went to Salalah for a day trip. Mr. Yahya gave us transportation to/from hotel and airport. He was very helpful, punctual and knows all spots that can be covered by tourists. I’m very satisfied with his service and highly recommended his service for anyone that travels to beautiful Oman. I hope to visit Muscat again in future and use your service.
We contacted Yahia via whatsap and agreed on the price and itinerary. The day of the meeting was punctual. On the way he described a bit of life in Oman and he was our guide For lunch he accompanied us to a typical place where we ate very well. Excellent service.
We had a great time with Yahya. He showed us the old nutmeg, took us to Mutrah Souq and we could also go to the big mosque on Friday prayers, which is worth an experience. We were also able to examine the wonderful opera house, which shines with its great architecture. He as a person was always very nice and accommodating. So we found a friend for life in Oman. Thanks a lot!!! We had a great time with Yahya. He showed us the old Muscat, took us to the Mutrah Souq and we were also able to go to the large mosque for Friday prayers, which is worth an experience.

Everything was great. We felt very comfortable. Everyone was happy. There was a bit of a story explanation missing, especially for both children.
Abbiamo prenotato una visita di mezza giornata di Muscate e siamo stati pienamente soddisfatti. Servizio puntuale. L’autista Mohammed è stato molto disponibile e cordiale e ha reso la mezza giornata un’esperienza piacevole.
Excellent organization and very reliable. Very gracious care and child friendly. Short-term changes were kindly accepted.
Great tour with the main sights. We took a 4 hour tour and got with us Opera house, palace, market, souk, fort and mosque.
Super good service and precise deals. Patience and gave us good time at Grand Mosque and good guidance with local restaurants
Yahya is a very nice and helpful Omani. He took us safely and stress-free to any sight we wanted. Little drawback: his English is not the best. But we understood each other. PS: he can be reached at any time via his mobile number, even for a transfer to the airport. +968 9272 3854
Very nice person, always available and very accommodating. We spent every time we asked Yahya for very good times. Always on time and offers very fair rates. I would recommend Yahya to anyone looking for a trusted guide or taxi on Muscat
We had the pleasure of having Yahya as a taxi guide, he was very professional and made us immediately feel comfortable in a very beautiful country like Oman. He accompanied us to visit all the attractions of Muscat and we were very pleased with his Service. He is a very helpful guy and we highly recommend him ... if you go to Muscat ask for Yahya is a guarantee.
We had a boat stop in Oman and actually we didn’t have much expectation about the city! I searched on TripAdvisor and found Yahya's contact and contacted him to pick us up in Porto two days later! Excellent driver, took us to the main sights within the time we hired, paid the abaya rent, offered us free wifi (from your mobile), very friendly and respectful! I recommend!
Very good guide srio and professional very helpful for large or small trips I highly recommend
The driver, Yahya, is a person would be and has conveyed confidence. He has taken us by taxi to all the points of interest of Muscat. We have also been able to see the Mosque in good time. I recommend it 100%. Recommended 100%
