Wonderful Custom Tour Under the Full Moon - Thank you so much, Bader, for such a wonderful and unforgettable tour. We truly appreciated how you accommodated our customised sites, it made the experience feel so personal and special. It was an amazing evening filled with delicious treats, karak tea, coffee, sweets, and such warm hospitality. The full moon added an extra touch of magic and made everything even more beautiful. We hope to see you again when we visit Oman next time. Highly recommended!

Highly recommended tour guide - My family and I were very impressed with Bader's car and driving. It was a careful and smooth drive. He was attentive in terms of bringing lots of water, being mindful of long walks and exposure to the sun. I particularly liked that moment when Bader asked us to look down then up to appreciate the view of the dome at the Grand Mosque, and that he had lots of "fun facts" for each stop. Ramssa for lunch was a fantastic choice! My mom says he's "very courteous, soft spoken & mild mannered. He was unhurried & calm," which the group liked because she and her friend are nearing retirement age. Bader was on time, professional, and oriented the group just right. Highly recommended to any first-timer in Muscat! Thank you, Bader!

An excellent tour guide and an even better person. - I visited Oman for the first time with my wife this October, 2025 and Bader was our guide for the 5 days of our trip and honestly I don’t think we could have had the wonderful experience we had without him to guide us through it. He’s an excellent guide and maintained his professionalism all through our time together. He was always very punctual, very respectful, communicated clearly, promptly and effectively. He was also very considerate and kind. From the moment he picked us up from the airport, my wife and I instantly felt very comfortable. He’s very knowledgeable about Omani history and very conscientious in his work. He took us through not only the historical sites and more touristy places but also the local spots and gems in and around Muscat. He also has a very unique background having lived abroad for a while and this reflects in how he related with us and carried out his duties. Oman is a beautiful country with a beautiful culture and people. Bader was a great ambassador for the country and I’m sure represents one of the best the country has the offer in all facets. I arrived to meet him as a tour guide but I left with a friendship that will hopefully last a lifetime. I encourage everyone to visit Oman. I certainly will be back In shaa’Allah and more importantly, I will recommend Bader’s services to any and everyone. With him, you are in very safe hands.
