Excellent guides - We had a superb private tour with our excellent guides Jaffa and Alfayed (apologies if I’ve got your name wrong) who were both very knowledgeable about Oman, it’s people, history and modern way of life. They took us to all the sights listed and by far the best was the Muscat Grand Mosque, quite breathtaking in its size and beauty . We can highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to see the city and learn its history and culture.
