Excellent - We are an Albanian couple, visiting for the first time Oman for one week. In this trip we were lucky to have as a guide Mohammed, the most sweet, polite, generous person we have met. Although we have to say Omani people are the most friendly and generous people we have seen in our extensive travels
Mohammed took such a great care of us. Our almost 10 hours trip was a joy because of all the sharing and stories about Oman history and customs. Mohammed is a very intelligent guy, with great curiosity about culture and history, which made our long journey pleasant and a unique experience. We said goodbye to him, feeling like knowing each other for a long time. Thank you Mohammed!

Amazing way to see Oman - We went on 4 tours with Ahlan Arabia. Each was better than the last. Our guides Muhammad and 3adil were both extremely kind and generous. Both were also excellent drivers. Their English was very good as well. Both went above and beyond to show us things we hadn’t even thought of seeing.
