Great way to see Oman outside Muscat
A brilliant day trip to Nizwa souq & fort plus Jabal Akhdar mountains and Barkat Al Muz old village.
A great way to see other parts of Oman away from Muscat. Our guide Khalid helped to make the day, very knowledgable and helpful throughout. Great to do things at our own pace.
Would definitely recommend the trip and Khalid.

Quite physically taxing....
Quite physically taxing. 1 hour each way of hiking and then a lot of swimming but it was so worth it. What a beautiful place on Earth to experience. Thank you to our tour guide Mohammed Aldighaishi who was so lovely and really took care of us. I’d highly recommend this experience

Fantastic tour
This was such an amazing trip thank you to Mohammed who is a truly great guide! He was considerate, funny and shared some fantastic insights. The tour felt very insightful and not too rushed at all. We had time to soak all the sights in and learn about Omani culture. 100% recommend

Great way to see Oman inland Treasures in a day
I had a one-day private ride/guide experience to Nizwa and mountains. We left 8am from Muscat and beat the crowds at every step. Muhammed was an excellent guide through the day and the chosen locations were great — in old Nizwa markets and fort as well as in mountain sights. Next time I must take an extra day or two for a full hiking trip.

Outstanding tour with our...
Outstanding tour with our guide Mohammed. Very friendly, accomodating and patient. We travelled with 4 people total in a clean and comfortable 4X4. Stopped multiple times along the way for breakfast, lunch, snacks, tea.
We stayed in the desert way longer than planned and got to see a complementary unplanned sunset!

Great tour to the Wabi...
Great tour to the Wabi Shab and the sinkhole. Our guide Ammar knew his business, spoke excellent English and took his time to explain things. Don't forget to wear your swimming gear before heading there, so you can enjoy the nice swim to the cave. It was a bit busy when we got there, so try to be there early.

Excellent guide
My guide, Mohammed Ali, was excellent, both in his local knowledge and in being ultra helpful. I was going to a friend’s place for dinner that evening and then guide went out of his way to help me, speaking to my friend and finding a safe taxi to get me there. He made sure the taxi driver had both his and my friend’s details so that they could ensure I got there safely. The locations we visited were beautiful. We were a small group of four and everyone in the group was friendly.

Outstanding trip
Amazing half day trip. Not only did we see many turtles but also saw a baby shark.
Fahad also took us to a beautiful white-sand beach and gave us the option of exploring or snorkelling. Unlike some of the other captains, he walked with us explaining about the surroundings and generally gave us interesting information about the local wildlife.
I absolutely recommend this tour, bring a casing for your phone or better still an underwater camera and be prepared for some amazing colourful underwater wildlife 🤗

Muscat city tour
My first time in Muscat and Oman this tour gave me an idea what's around and what to see. Our tourguide Mahmood was super nice, friendly and answered all the questions I had about the culture, customes etc. I was extremely impressed by the fact, that not just that I got picked up at my hotel but also dropped off. Amazing and thank you !!!
I also loved the option and choice of seeing the fort or the market. Again Mahmood accomodated all our requests :)

Memorable and great value experience
This was a perfect activity for a short stay in Oman and an opportunity to see some of the country's stunning natural beauty. The tour was well organised and the staff were helpful and friendly, with clarity on departure/arrival times and offering snacks and water. The views of the reef and wildlife were wonderful and well worth seeing. Highly recommended.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Much of Oman’s finest scenery lies within day-tripping distance of its capital Muscat, making the city a convenient springboard for exploring. Consequently, Muscat day trips are everywhere you look—primarily private, chauffeured 4WD tours that promise safe passage around the interior's rugged terrain. Popular trips include circuits of the souks, 18th-century forts, and villages nestled in the country's Al-Hajar peaks; journeys into steep-walled wadis (valleys) speckled with turquoise pools, and visits to untouched canyons, beaches, and the empty sands of Wahiba. Other options beckon, too: from day-long Muscat city sightseeing itineraries to snorkeling in the glassy seas around the Dimaniyat islands.
