utterly welcoming - Our 14-day trip to Oman was definitely an adventure to remember. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by two fantastic guides, Mr. Loay ( +968 96039430 ) and Mr. Ahmed ( +968 95911954 ), who accompanied us with care and enthusiasm throughout the trip. They were not only extremely reliable and accurate, but also took their time for us, without ever being in a hurry. It felt like we were part of their family, which made the trip a very personal and warm experience. Wonderful excursions and unforgettable places Our journey began with a visit to the iconic Sultan Qaboos Mosque in Muscat. It was an impressive moment, and Mr. Loay gave us a very interesting and detailed tour, which greatly increased our appreciation for Islamic culture and architecture. The grandeur and beauty of the mosque are truly breathtaking. Then we went to Wadi Shab and Bimmah Sinkhole ā€“ two natural wonders that are absolutely worth visiting. Wadi Shab offered us the chance to walk through lush green oases and crystal clear waters, perfect for a refreshing swim. It was a beautiful and serene place that really brought us closer to nature. The Bimmah Sinkhole was another unique experience. The clear, turquoise water and dramatic landscape around the sinkhole made us feel like we were in another world. We also visited the enchanting Sahara desert, which was one of the highlights of our trip. We drove 4x4 vehicles through the sand dunes and had the chance to enjoy the unspoilt landscape and the silence of the desert. The guides made sure we felt completely at ease, and we were well looked after with food and drinks during the adventure. The hospitality of the guides The way that Mr. Loay and Mr. Ahmed accompanying us throughout the trip, was truly exceptional. They were not only expert guides, but also great company. They made sure everything went smoothly and that we had plenty of time to enjoy the sights everywhere. We really felt part of their family, which made our experience extra special. This kind of personal attention and care is something that we have rarely experienced with other travel companies. Conclusion As a family we can say that this trip to Oman was not only a great holiday, but also a chance to make new friendships and immerse ourselves in a beautiful culture and nature. Thanks to the professional and warm guidance of Mr. Loay and Mr. Ahmed we felt we could discover the real Oman, and we would definitely recommend this trip to anyone looking for adventure, culture and true hospitality. Oman is a country not to be missed, and with such fantastic guides, your experience will be even more beautiful.
