Salalah City Tour with Abo Salim - Wonderful trip. Abo Salim was an excellent guide, very knowledgable and most pleasant company. He was very flexible and tailored our itinerary to suit us, on his advice. Highlights for us were the fish souk, where we bought the most wonderful lobster, freshly cooked, which Abo Salim arranged for us to eat at a small restaurant later in the afternoon when we were on the desert safari; buying fresh coconut to drink at a stall. We really loved the trip and highly recommend it.

City tour in 4 hours, TOP - We booked very spontaneously and had a tour alone with our guide Salim. It was a great 4 hours, we learned a lot about the city and the country. We drank fresh coconut and ate very tasty fresh papaya, I have never eaten a better papaya. Our wishes were taken into account, we really wanted to buy fresh dates. I can only recommend this tour. We booked through Getyourguide.

Wonderful city tour - We did a city tour with Salim on January 15th. It was a very nice day. We saw a lot and Salim was able to explain everything to us well and in detail. He had an answer to all of our questions. We are very grateful to Salim for his hard work. He introduced us to his country and its people with great enthusiasm. Everything was very informative. It was a great pleasure for us to do the tour with this personable and friendly person. For us, Salim is the best guide. Conny and Jörg from Munich

Excellent - Salalah doesn't have much to offer and we wouldn't have discovered what it does have without this tour. Our guide Salim was excellent: pleasant, knowledgeable and willing to change the plan to suit our preferences. He contacted us the day before to sort out the details of our meeting. His car was clean and comfortable and his driving was careful.

A great tour guide and a very good therapist! - Our day in Salalah with Salim was delightful. Salim is an excellent representative for the people of Oman. He communicated with us before the tour and let us know precisely where to meet him at the port, while other passengers were left to guess where to meet their guides. The tour was well organized and throughout the day he listened carefully to our wishes and did his utmost to fulfill them, even convincing a shopkeeper to sell me a bowl that I wanted that was not for sale. He explained a great deal about Omani culture and shared with us the everyday experiences of Omani life while dispensing insightful life advice. Numerous times his generosity of spirit extended to help other travelers in need of assistance. From listening to Salim singing verses from the Koran in the mosque, to enjoying a refreshing cold coconut juice, to sipping a milk tea with freshly made flatbread at a cafe near Job’s Tomb, it is a day we won’t ever forget. Thank you, Salim, for welcoming us to the Land of Four Seasons and the Land of Frankincense.

Mixed feelings - Our guide knew many of the local places of interest, but I'd have liked more information about them. Instead, he wanted to talk to us about inappropriate topics such as politics, religion, prostitution and sexuality. To his credit, he chose a good local restaurant for dinner and he knew the Salalah region very well without needing GPS.

Salala trip-Satisfied but not good - The communication to agree on the pick-up location and time worked smoothly. We were picked up on time and were shown almost all of the places except for the trip to the tomb of Nabi Ayub (Prophet Job), which was a shame. The driver was very taciturn, so we hardly learned anything about the places. There was no water in the car.
