Wonderful introduction to Omani culture and key sights near Muscat - I really enjoyed this relaxed but thorough introduction to Oman and the key sights a few hours from Muscat. Yassir was a wonderful guide with excellent knowledge of Omani history and in depth information about each of the sights we visited. In addition to seeing the places on the itinerary which were very special themselves, one of the nicest parts of the trip was the fact that Yassir went over and above to ensure my visit allowed me to interact with local people, share tea and coffee with people we met, and explore parts of the sights that were not on the beaten path. He always made a point of introducing me to people he knew along the way and the shop owners we ran into, suggesting foods and snacks that I needed to try, offering side hikes to less explored locations, and recommending experiences that he wanted to share with me. This included such things as getting to the Niswa Souq early in the morning to not miss the lively cow auction or the experience of visiting the Niswa wall at night because he wanted to share that visual with me or climbing up to an overhead water aqueduct where we shared tea with some local boys while standing 15-20 feet above the ground overlooking an oasis of palm trees and so many more. Omani Sharing Tours offered a really great itinerary on this tour and Yassir made it special. I would highly recommend this one.

Great local insights - Includes all the must-see stops as well as hidden gems that our local guide showed us. Khalfan was knowledgeable, a safe driver, experienced and very warm and friendly. The tour can be customised to whatever suits you. Would not miss!

Wow, trip of a lifetime to Jebel Akhdar and Jebel Shams! - Wow, what a trip! We did a private overnight tour for 9 friends and family. We had 2 vehicles and 2 guides - Khalil and Yousef who were both fantastic - cool, friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful - was a real pleasure being with them for 2 days. The tour was jam packed and took us to Nizwa Fort + Jebel Akhdar + Jebel Shams plus the beautiful lost villages of Birkat Al Mauz and Al Hamra. Everywhere was absolutely stunning but Jebel Shams has to be one of the greatest places we have ever seen - it's jaw dropping, do not miss this! We overnighted at Sama Hotel in Jebel Akhdar which was lovely - nice food and incredible views over the mountain! I picked Oman Sharing Tours specifically because they seemed to be the only company offering both Jebel Akhdar + Jebel Shams in 2 days. Am so glad I did! They also arranged our airport pick up for us as we were a big group - this really helped us as taxis are expensive from the airport. Highly recommend Oman Sharing Tours and this Jebel Akhdar overnight 2 day tour (incl Jebel Shams). Was just stunning all round. Thank you Ms Roda, Khalil, Yousef and team for a truly wonderful trip!!

Treasure - Our tour of Nizwa and Jebel Akhdar was truly unforgettable, with breathtaking mountain landscapes that left us in awe. The experience was enriched by our knowledgeable guides, who made the journey even more memorable. At Nizwa Souq, we discovered a treasure trove of Omani handmade crafts, including silver, souvenirs, clothing, and more.

Im so happy - We had booked a three 4WD vehicle for my team work to go to the places of Jebel Shams or they called “The Grand Canyon of Oman”. We stayed overnight at Jebel Shams Resort, and we also booked a room for our three drivers, as we also need to be back at Muscat the day after. Our guides were very helpful. Highly recommend.

Exploring Jebel Akhdar and Nizwa - Our journey to the majestic heights of Jebel Akhdar gifted us with awe-inspiring vistas, most notably from the enchanting Diana's Viewpoint. As we gazed out upon the landscape, we marveled at the panoramic beauty that stretched as far as the eye could see, including the charming city of Nizwa. Nizwa Fort, a true architectural marvel, welcomed us with its grandeur and historical significance. The intricate design and rich history of the fort left an indelible impression on us, serving as a testament to the region's heritage. Our exploration didn't stop there. The bustling Nizwa Souq beckoned us with its treasures - a treasure trove of offerings ranging from exquisite home decor to personal items, dazzling jewelry, and meticulously crafted handmade souvenirs. Each stall was a showcase of artistry and culture, making it a shopper's paradise. In the heart of Jebel Akhdar, our mountain escapade became an unforgettable journey, filled with breathtaking views, historical wonders, and delightful souq finds. I highly recommend.
