Enjoyable day out with a very reliable guide - Initially booked a rental car for a self-drive tour of Salalah and surroundings. Problems with the car agency made me contact Hamid (recommended by a friend) to arrange for tours. Hamid took us on Salalah East half tour. Since the first communication Hamid was clear in what he had to offer ie a great car plus a great itinerary. We went to the Sultan Qaboos Mosque then drove eastwards visiting Eftilqout for the panoramic view, Mughsul beach blowholes and beaches along the way. Had a good swim at Fazayah beach before heading back at hotel. Hamid was trustworthy and knowledgable and made us feel safe. We enjoyed so much more than if we had rented a car.

I enjoyed it. - We were able to efficiently visit the sights near Salalah that are inaccessible without a car. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the waterfalls because it was before the rainy season, but we enjoyed seeing the beautiful Arabian Sea, the oasis, and the animals. The guide was very friendly and helpful.

Enjoyed my experience a lot - Really enjoyed the tour with Hamid. I was picked up on time and had enough time to explore all the places. Hamid was polite and never pushy. He was also very knowledgeable - I learned a lot of Omani history and culture from him. I was lucky as the weather was quite good when I visited these unique places, each of which got its own beauty and charm. The Taqah fort at the end of our trip was really nice. You can go to the very top and enjoy a panoramic view of the entire Taqah town and the far reaching Indian Ocean. I would highly recommend a tour with Hamid. You are in for a wonderful journey!

A great tour - Took a trip with this company last year which was wonderful. The staff are knoweledgable, friendly and helpful during my trip. As a female travelling solo it can be a little bit difficult travelling to cultural enviroments where it may be little bit uncomfortable without a male companion. Not to worry though the trips were fun and Salalah is enriched with historical places to see. The people are welcoming of visitors and the team made me feel comfortable travelling solo. I highly reccommend them!
