All Muscat Tours & Excursions in 2026 - page 2

Said messaged well in advance of the trip, to offer advice related to this tour or any other enquiries - and after getting to know him, this didn’t surprise me at all. An absolute gentleman who made our trip(s) fantastic. Also, I had booked an evening city tour (through Viator) with a different company, the night prior to this trip. They cancelled a couple of hours prior and when I explained this to Said (due to his offer above), he stepped in at the 11th hour and took my wife and I on an additional tour at a very competitive price, with additional stops. In terms of the trip we booked, it ticked all the boxes we were after, and even an additional stop at the perfume factory (following a chat about it the night prior), with no additional charge. He also provided plenty of cold water, and his Land Cruiser was very comfortable throughout both trips. He knew all the photo spots to go too and even took pictures of my wife and I. Following the trip, he also sent a list of restaurants and places of interest that worked within our schedule, including in Jabal Akhdar where we were going the next day. I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better host while in Muscat.

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.

Our captains were both friendly and very helpful throughout the day. The boat ride was smooth, snorkelling equipment was good and the turtles were amazing. We saw at least 30 altogether and they were not scared of the humans at all - very friendly in fact. Captain Nadeem captured some great footage of us with the turtles on his go pro which we were able to download a couple of days later. The beach was beautiful and we also enjoyed exploring the island. The lunch provided was plentiful. As vegans we definitely had enough but the meat eaters couldn’t manage all that was served to them from the beach bbq. We watched the beautiful sunset on the way back to the port. Overall it was a perfect day. Thank you.
