Awesome day tour from Muscat - The tour was absolutely fantastic. The flexibility of the company / guide (Ahmed) in picking me up from the airport and doing the tour before dropping me off at the hotel was greatly appreciated in maximising my time in Oman. They didn't say no to any request.
Ahmed, what can I say, other than what a fantastic guide. Knowledgeable, experienced, flexible, accommodating, proud of his Omani background, and really humble are only a few words to describe him. He made the tour special. We chatted away on many topics and he gave a insight not only onto the places we visited but also into Omani culture and history.
I highly recommend the tour, Ahmed as a tour guide and the tour company itself.

Amazing journey through Omani history , nature and culture , all in one tour - Amazing tour with Mr Khamfa , who is both the driver and guide . He maintained the car very well and has great driving skill , especially needed for this tour . The fort and the souk tour was really intuitive , Mr Khamfa knows a lot about history and locals , felt welcomed every steps of the way . The old village tour is refreshing , we can sit down for a nice cup of drink and take in the majestic view of the famous mountainous Oman region . The highlight of the tour for me is the drive to Jebel Sham , the Grand Canyon of Oman . The drive itself was amazing , many parts was offroad and required a really good driving skill , but the view is spectacular . You don’t expect to see this kind of view in a desert area in the Middle East . However , the drive can be a tad nauseous for people with weaker tolerance , I myself was a little bit myself , however , Mr Khamfa was very attentive and would slow down if you asked , which I didn’t . The view from the top was out-of-this world , with sheer mountain clip and deep valley . This tour was everything I could ask for and Mr Khamfa , who is a bit older than you would expected from a tour guide , is surprising strong , agile and also an excellent and patient photographer . All in all , so happy with the tour !

amazing, highly recommended 🙌 - amazing experience highly recommend. The tour guide was very friendly, informative and accomodating.
We had a lovely time experiencing and learning about the rich history of Oman and the natural wonder of Jabel Shams.
We especially enjoyed exploring the mountain village of Misfat al Abriyin, walking through the local houses and mountain passageways.
Definitely a must-do in Oman, it's the best way to experience the country through adventure.

Grand Canyon experience - Wonderful day at Nizwa and Jebel Shams ( Grand Canyon ) with our tour guide Said who couldn’t do enough for us and was very knowledgeable both throughout the journey and at each place of interest along the way. A long day but well worth it.

Day in Oman, Well Spent! - Khalid took us on an amazing adventure on our trip to Nizwa, both the Fort (lots of information and Khalid has amazing photography skills!) and the Souq (even assisted us with the shopping!). We then made our way to Jabal AlAkhdar, followed by a trip to Birkat Al Mouz.
It was completely educational but also very fun. Khalid knew how to hold a conversation and also to take care of us during the whole tour. It was 50 degrees Celsius but he tried to keep us cool as much as possible. Overall, we had a great day and the only thing bad was the weather. Other than that, no complaints at all. Thank you, Sunshine Tours and Khalid! You made our trip to Oman memorable! 🇴🇲
