Mr Khalid and Majid of Oman Landscape Tour are excellent! - Mr Majid and Khalid took care of us all the way from Dubai airport to Muscat, and back. They have been professional, timely, polite and flexible. We had some hiccups at the border which wasted lots time, the 2 gentlemen then work till late night and planned a reroute to ensure that we still can squeeze everything in. Mr Khalid even invited 7 of us to his home for lunch in a charming Rusdaq village, a fascinating experience! In a nutshell, Mr Majid and Khalid showed case the great hospitality and kindness of Omanis which left an excellent impression on us. Great country, great people! Highly recommended!
