Wonderful tour of Muscat - My wife and I wanted a guided tour that provided an overview of the city of Muscat, the capital of Oman. We selected Sunshine Tours and were attracted by the reviews of tours guided by Mohammed Aljabri. We were not disappointed! Mohammed delivered everything we wanted and more! For starters Mohammed is a very friendly, intelligent and personable guy. He clearly loves his wonderful country and enthusiastically gave us a first class primer on the country of Oman, its capital, people, customs and history. We visited all of the major locations in Muscat over a tour approaching five hours and even a small museum in ‘old Muscat’ that gave us further insight into this fascinating country. Whilst Mohammed has an itinerary for the tour, he is also keen to understand what you want from it and will adapt your time together as appropriate. We plan to visit Oman on holiday again in the future and Mohammed has inspired us to look further into the history and culture of the country and to travel further into the regions outside of the capital.

Amazing - The mosque is breathtaking, we enjoyed every part of our tour and our guide Faisal was amazing, he was very hospitable and we even went a few hours over the time. 10/10 I would recommend, it’s worth it and a must do if visiting. Our guide was so good we booked two more days of activities with his company and requested he be our guide again. The owner worked on it making it happen for us and spent 3+ hours moving things around to accommodate us.

Highly recommend this trip in oman - From beginning to end, our evening Muscat City Tour was exceptional. Mohammed is a wonderful guide punctual, knowledgeable, and very attentive. He picked us up at the Royal Tulip Hotel and guided us through Muscat’s highlights with great enthusiasm. We particularly loved the Royal Opera House and the sunset views by the Corniche. A must-do tour!

Unforgettable Night - We had a perfect evening exploring Muscat with Mohammed as our guide. Pick-up from the Royal Tulip Hotel was right on time, and everything was well-organized. Mohammed shared fascinating insights about Omani culture and history, and he even helped us capture some great photos. The combination of city sights, shopping at the souq, and sunset views made it an unforgettable night.

Experience in Muscat in a short time - Our afternoon Muscat City Tour was the perfect way to explore the highlights of the capital in just 4 hours. Our guide Mohammed was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating details about Omani history and culture. From the impressive Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque Photo stop outside with explanation from our guide, to the lively Muttrah Souq and the elegant Royal Opera House, every stop felt well-planned. The comfortable transfers made the journey smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience Muscat in a short time!
