Great experience - Excellent experience. And Jamal, the guide, was amazing. The people in general are very welcoming, but Jamal really honored the fame for Arab hospitality.

Great half day trip - We were a family of five from the UK and booked this half day city tour. I say half day, our tour guide Jamal was so accommodating and we ran over time. He was so knowlegeable, we visited the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque,Souq, sweet shop, Royal Palace, Museum and Royal Opera House. He picked us up from the hotel and we he was so relaxed throughout, i was more aware of the ti.e than he was. In the museum he arranged for us to have s mueseum worker tell us about one exhibition. The Mosque was our fave, ladies you will need to cover up for the Mosque...long trousers, long sleeves and headscarf. Jamal also gave us a couple of restaurant reccommendations. We would definitely recommend this tour and Jamal to you warmly .
