My Muscat City Tour led by Amer - I am submitting this review of the Muscat Tour led by Amer of Star Tours Oman on December 10, 2024. My name is Norman Louis Morgan from Phoenix, Arizona, USA. Along with my traveling companion Hsiaoyu Lo from New York, we booked an all day tour of Muscat. We spent five days and four nights traveling independently in Oman after we had participated in a 6 night Gate 1 Group Tour of the U.A.E. Hsiaoyu had booked tours online and we went on three tours together and she also went on one trip by herself. The Muscat City Tour occurred on our last day in Oman and after that we needed immediately to get to the Muscat Airport for our flights home to the USA.
Amer did an incredible job of meeting all of our needs and special requests. He was at all times friendly, polite and efficient. To begin with, he accomodated our request to see all the sights on the tour in a well planned timetable and then to drop us off at the Airport at the time we requested. Also he did a superlative job of providing interesting information about all the sites we visited. He was also an excellent driver and willing and capable photographer to take our photos on request. He acted excellently as translator for our interactions with store workers and was knowledgeable where to buy the souvenirs we wanted and facilitated our getting the best deal. Throughout the trip he looked out for our safety and welfare. We were totally satisfied with his guidance and his friendly personality.
The Muscat City Tour was truly fantastic and filled with interesting venues. We got to experience the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, the Bait Al Zubair Museum, the Corniche, the Mutrah Souq, the Fish Market, the Royal Opera House and many photo-stops for the Al-Mirani Fort, Al-Jalali Fort, Mutrah Fort, the Al-Alam Palace and the Parliament.
We are grateful to Amer for his guidance and his humanity. We truly enjoyed beautiful Oman and the gracious and friendly Omani People, of whom Amer was a fine representative.

Fantabulous Musct City Full day trip - I booked this trip thru viator and my Tour Guide was Waleed. He was spot on time at 0900 and we visited the published itinerary which included Sultan Qaboos Moaque, Opera House, Corniche, Mutrah region including the Souq . After a brief break we went onto the luxury palatial hotel Al bustan and The Royal Palace. Waleed was extremely polite, knowledgeable and i enjoyed every minute of his company. He did not rush and we had a relaxing day. He has a thorough knowledge of the history and it was interesting to know a lot of things whech were new to me. In the end he took me to oman mall and waited till i did the rounds and even picked up a McD burger. He was a pleasure to have a company. I strongly recommend Waleed as a tour guide 10/10.

Grand mosque
Mattrah Souq
AlAlam palace
National Museum

Khalid was very flexible in the schedule and we never felt like we were being rushed. He took lots of photos for us and even put together a short video as a memory. We are looking forward to being with Khalid again tomorrow!!!

Muscat is a treasure to the world! Definitely worth touring with Amer from Star Tours. - We went with Amer our tour guide. He was fabulous, and advised what to wear the day before visiting the Grand Mosque. The Grand Mosque was fabulous with the second largest chandelier in the world and the largest carpet in the world and also learning about Islam. It was interesting to see how the cooling worked in the mosque too given the high heat in Oman.
We then went to Mutrah after we went to the souk and harbour. After shopping we all grabbed lunch/juices. It was such a wounderful Souk. We also had a glimpse into the fish market. Amer was fabulous in showing us where to get particular items in the Souk.
We then went to Al Zubair Museum where we learn about Omani living, the culture, the history. Amer was a great guide and showed and talked about artifacts of interest.
We then went to the Opera house, which was tremendous and we saw an organ with 4000 pipes. We also observed where the Sultan sits to enjoy the opera.
I would highly recommend Amer from Star Tours. Amer was fabulous in showing us around. We very much enjoyed the tour.

Recommended best city tour - I recently had the pleasure of exploring the beautiful city of Muscat with an exceptional guide, Said Alkiyumi. Said's knowledge of Oman's history, culture, and hidden gems made the tour truly unforgettable. From the stunning Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque to the vibrant Mutrah Souq, every moment was enriched by Said's engaging storytelling and warm hospitality. If you're visiting Oman, I highly recommend booking a tour with Said for an authentic and memorable experience!
