Wonderful Wadi Shab
The hike is not long but is uneven and rocky terrain. You should be able to handle 1.5 hours of this. The valley is stunning and the water is clear and beautiful. The swim into the cave is such a thrill. Our guide Mohammad was delightful. He took such good care of us and shared history of the region as well as personal stories to help us understand and appreciate Omani culture. The highlight of my trip to Oman.

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 tour
Very full day with a lot of time spent on the road but absolutely worth it as a taste of the real Oman. Highlight was the visit to a bedouin house where we learnt the finer custom of receiving guests and sharing tea. Our guide Ahmed was a gem and willing to discuss all that Oman is - really enjoyable.

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.

Tour of Muscat- Evening
Ahmed was my tour guide. He was extremely helpful in providing the deep historical for the landmarks but also make the drive the most efficient spots. The tour included Grand Mosque, the Opera House, the traditional Muttrah Souq, the marina, and the Sultan’s Palace.

Fantastic Tour with Mak to Nizwa and the mountains
It was such a lovely tour with Muqimi (Mak) to Nizwa and the mountains. We had a leisurely time browsing and shopping at the Nizwa Souq, then a walk down history through Nizwa Fort. Followed by a sumptuous lunch (included) - got to taste camel curry - and then to the mountains. I particularly enjoyed the hike from one village to another - the views were breathtaking-taking and refreshing. The day ended with a climb up an abandoned village to watch the sunset at the peak. The tour was leisurely with Mak and a small group (just 3 of us) and we all got plenty of information sharing and laughter from Mak. He also whisked us around from place to place safely and very comfortably in a 4WD. This is a tour not to be missed!!

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.

Amazing tour
We had an amazing day visiting the Nizwa Souk, Nizwa Fort and Jebel Shams with Oman Landscape Tours. Our guide Said was very nice and took great care to give us the best experience. The Nizwa Souk is very interesting place, so also the Nizwa Fort and the Castle. Jebel Shams is something unique and a must visit place in Oman. We enjoyed the tour thoroughly with guide Said. Highly recommend this tour and the tour guide.

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 :)

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.
