Amazing , lifetime experience, beautiful city with the most friendly helpful people - The tours arranged by Marhaba Dhofar tours was just incredible. We travelled to Salalah and decided to book tours at the hotel. By luck we could not get hold of anyone at the desk and took our chances in google search. Marhaba Dhofar tours appeared in the top five and that was a blessing
Highly recommend and grateful to Awwad who promptly responded to all our queries on the tours and booked the City Tour the next day. Very helpful and enthusiastic to give the best service that we thoroughly enjoyed with the best tour guide who was a local Omani - Saeed. He showed us the best places and covered the half day tour with such knowledge about every place visited. Very satisfied with the tour arrangements and the guide. Highly recommend this tour company 👍🏼
