Jabal Shams’ Via Ferrata Adventure - It was an experience of a lifetime! I was able to see the beauty of Oman’s pristine mountains and did the balcony walk via ferrata! I enjoyed the activity and the tour leaders, Saif and Hamood, ensured that everyone was safe all throughout the day.

Wikitour amasing expérience - The experience with wikitour was amasing. We were able to discover the grand canyon of Oman thanks to a superb hike and incredible climbing. Safe and his team welcomed us and great connections were created. Climbing a mountain was a first for us, Safe and his team were patient, reassuring and caring with us. we didn't have the chance to know about wikitour when we arrived otherwise we would have done all the excursions with them. If you want to discover Oman, live an incredible experience, Wikitour is where it happens. One thing is for sure we will come back to Oman to live a new experience with Wikitour.
