Highly recommend if you want to explore Nizwa - Would recommend this company if you are looking for a tour of the local Nizwa area. I received a very professional service from Bassam when visiting the office to book the tour. I had a tour with Ali, a Nizwa local, who had excellent English and is extremely knowledgeable about the local area.

Absolutely a MUST do - This is a MUST do. Take some more stable hiking shoes and than ... start an amazing walk. It is approximately 7km for both directions with will take 2 hours. At the end there are some very old houses. At the walk you have an amazing view.
