The easter trip for us different. We discovered the culture and nice natural places of Durbarbat and taqah. Fantastic with nice history touch. Nicely organized. Thank you Mohammed our guide.
My 5 day tour in Salalah was one of the most refreshing travel experiences I’ve ever had. The combination of lush greenery, misty mountains, and endless beaches felt like paradise. I visited Wadi Darbat, Mughsail Beach, and the stunning waterfalls that appear during the Khareef season. Every location looked like a postcard-green hills covered in fog and camels wandering freely. The local food was delicious, especially the seafood along the coast. What impressed me most was how peaceful and uncrowded everything felt. Salalah is truly a hidden gem for nature lovers. Highly recommended this Company
Wonderful experience , cooperative staff, amazing tour , coordinated , unforgettable , it is advice able to go with them
It was so fantastic moment to have a tour with abuhamzah. The guide was so friendly and had many knowledge in terms of traveling. I and my friends enjoyed the whole day. Tour with this company is highly recommended.
Well organised and precisely coordinated...an allround enjoyable one of a kind experience. ..lasting memories of glorious Salalah.
had an amazing time with uncle Hamid, enjoyed all the places we went to and really understood everything uncle Hamid told us about Salalah. very informative and interesting experience. Would recommend my friends and family to go on this tour!
Initially booked a rental car for a self-drive tour of Salalah and surroundings. Problems with the car agency made me contact Hamid (recommended by a friend) to arrange for tours. Hamid took us on Salalah East half tour. Since the first communication Hamid was clear in what he had to offer ie a great car plus a great itinerary. We went to the Sultan Qaboos Mosque then drove eastwards visiting Eftilqout for the panoramic view, Mughsul beach blowholes and beaches along the way. Had a good swim at Fazayah beach before heading back at hotel. Hamid was trustworthy and knowledgable and made us feel safe. We enjoyed so much more than if we had rented a car.
Really enjoyed the tour with Hamid. I was picked up on time and had enough time to explore all the places. Hamid was polite and never pushy. He was also very knowledgeable - I learned a lot of Omani history and culture from him. I was lucky as the weather was quite good when I visited these unique places, each of which got its own beauty and charm. The Taqah fort at the end of our trip was really nice. You can go to the very top and enjoy a panoramic view of the entire Taqah town and the far reaching Indian Ocean. I would highly recommend a tour with Hamid. You are in for a wonderful journey!
This was an amazing tour and our guide, Hamad, was really amazing. Salalah is extremely beautiful and Having a guide who knew all the spots was the icing on the cake! Super cheerful, super knowledgeable and very patient. His car was also extremely comfortable so we rode in comfort throughout. We really enjoyed our time with him! Thank you so much, Hamad for a lovely time
What a great tour this was! Saw so many beautiful things. And the guide was fantastic. Great service.
I enjoy this city,it is an awesome place to live for older people and kids it’s so quiet and everything you need is around the corner.
Took a trip with this company last year which was wonderful. The staff are knoweledgable, friendly and helpful during my trip. As a female travelling solo it can be a little bit difficult travelling to cultural enviroments where it may be little bit uncomfortable without a male companion. Not to worry though the trips were fun and Salalah is enriched with historical places to see. The people are welcoming of visitors and the team made me feel comfortable travelling solo. I highly reccommend them!
Hamed drove us to the most beautiful places of West Salalah. He told us a lot about the culture and history, provided us with food and drinks. A wonderful trip, thank you HamedWonderful
We were able to efficiently visit the sights near Salalah that are inaccessible without a car. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the waterfalls because it was before the rainy season, but we enjoyed seeing the beautiful Arabian Sea, the oasis, and the animals. The guide was very friendly and helpful.
Hamid hat uns tolle Orte gezeigt. Er hat uns auch die Geschichte des Oman mit den verschiedenen Zeitabschnitten erklärt. Wir waren am Festival Platz mit den ursprünglichen Bauten und in einem Museum in Taqa. Wir waren im Gebirge bei den Wasserfällen. Es war eine tolle Tour.
Nice experience! Our driver and guide Hamid was very kind and fun. He made us live and discover a little more about the Dofhar! Recommended hike, preferably in the rainy season to better admire the falls
I had this experience in Salalah, the importance of having a guide like Hamid makes the difference, the agency was considerate and met all expectations, quick communication, the organization was perfect the car very comfortable even in 4. Very interesting tour I highly recommend
