Nizwa - A great day out in Nizwa, starting with a visit to the old city and the fort, which offered fascinating insight into the region’s history and culture. The trip continued on to Al Hamra and Misfah, both of which were highlights with their traditional architecture and scenery. Our guide, Mohammed, was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience enjoyable.

10/10 Oman experience - Our family had a wonderful 5 night trip in Oman. We booked our itinerary with Star Tour Oman and our guide:Khalid AlRaqadi was amazing! He catered our experience to our needs and was patient with our children. We had an amazing time hiking Wadi Shab, exploring Nizwa and touring through Muscat. Star Tour Oman was great and Khalid was professional and kind. Very knowledgeable about Omani history too! I would definitely recommend booking with Star Tour Oman. They can also cater the tour to whatever your desires or needs are!

What a memorable trip - My mum and I spent three incredible days with our tour guide Ali and learned that saying goodbyes was much harder than we expected! :) Ali looked after us really well every day and treated us with the most delicious Karak chai on the way to all different beautiful places. We started with a Muscat tour, continued with the Wadi Bani Khalid and Wahiba Sands the next day and finished our three-day experience with Nizwa and Misfat Al Abriyeen tour. The tours were truly fascinating, everything was incredibly well-planned, communication was very smooth from the beginning: starting from scheduling the trips with the fantastic assistance of Roda and finishing with Ali constantly keeping in touch with us, always being so accommodating and hospitable throughout the whole time. We cannot thank you enough for such a warm welcome to Oman and we know we will be back inshAllah! شكرا جزيلا and see you soon Ali!
