Shack but not stirred - Muscat Tour

Richard_L, Dec 2024

The tour started after our agreed start time and we had a specific itinerary which we provided in advance but this had not been given to our guide. We also had specific timings we needed for our itinerary which again we provided in advance but were left killing time even though it was a pre agreed itinerary agreed arranged start time. After the poor start….. The tour covered everything we asked and the guide had a good level of knowledge about Oman and Muscat, he kept us informed of the local area, buildings and Omani culture, government and sultan leadership. We visited Muscat, souq, markets, iconic buildings such as the royal opera house, Al Alam Palace, Bait Al Zubair among others which the guide provided details, facts and interesting knowledge. We were dropped off outside the souq and told we would meet up in the same place after 45-60 mins. We would have appreciated the offer of being accompanied as it can be intimidating and confusing finding your way around. After the agreed time we went back and waited at the meeting point and messaged the tour guide a couple of times before he returned. The tour was good and even the poor start and lack of communication with our itinerary did not put a disappointing feel on the tour. We were disappointed with the vehicle, however, which was an off road style vehicle with only 1 and a half door access and more useful in the desert not touring around Muscat. Fortunately we have no mobility issues or any perceived disabilities but if we had we would have not been able to get in and out vehicle it was not easy or graceful. The ride was very harsh and bounced around at higher speeds and around the roads we did feel shaken by the end. We expected more of a luxury vehicle as per our request at booking and preferences made, but we made the most of the tour.
