Wonderful - We initially booked the 4 hour tour in Muscat with Oman Sharing Tours, and Ali was such a wonderful guide we decided to book with them the Nizwa tour the next day and the Whadi tour the day after that.
He was exceptional, he did everything he could to make our trip comfortable and unforgettable, and he was very knowledgeable.
Rose, from the agency, was also very kind and willing to answer any questions we had.
We recommend Oman Sharing Tours, and Alí, with all our hearts.

Best Tour with the best tour guide - The tour was amazing, very professionally planned, our tour guide was Said Al kiyumi (with me in the picture), he was very helpful throughout the trip and kept explaining the history of Oman and the history of the places. Will definitely be back later to visit Salalah Tours.

Great Experience - Our tour guide, Mohammed, was incredibly knowledgeable about Oman's history and culture, making the entire experience engaging and enjoyable. He kept the atmosphere light and energetic throughout the tour. We even got to try a delicious cup of karak tea and the famous Omani bread with cheese and honey—a delightful new taste for us! The highlight of the trip was exploring Wadi Shab and discovering the romantic hidden cave. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

Super Tour - We had a great day together with our guide Khalfan. An unforgettable experience and recommended to everyone.
The wadi was especially great.
After the walk, the tour continues in the water (floating) and ends at a waterfall of a special kind. Very impressive
