After this day I'm definitely coming back to Oman - Amer arrived earlier, which was very good for me because I was eager to start the trip already. When I travel, I like to learn about the culture and history of the place I'm visiting and he offered me exactly that. He knows a lot about the geography, history, and culture of Oman, so we had a lot to talk about during the trip. We started in Muskat and went to Nizwa first. There he came with me throughout the souq where he explained the different customs regarding trade of livestock (I have to participate in the souq on Friday morning now) and I particularly found the Date souq interesting, where I learned a lot about the different varieties. I then managed to take some photos among the pottery and admire the silver work. The Fort is stunning, and actually seeing a citadel built with trap doors was fascinating. I thought those were only in the movies. We then went to Al Jabal Al Akhdar, the Green Mountain, but first, we stopped to admire the ancient irrigation system, which is still in use today and is a Unesco heritage site. The view from up the mountain is breathtaking. You can see the terraced landscape where locals grow roses. Amer's personality is very warm and pleasant and when I come back I'll definitely book a trip with him.

Amazing experience with Oman Star Tours and Khalid! - We had a very short time in Muscat and arranged - on very short notice - a one day tour to Nizwa and Jebel Akhdar with Oman Star Tours. The manager is quick to respond and was very flexible - he also moved things around just so we could see the Grand Mosque in Muscat (not part of the tour), as it would have been closed the next day, which was a Friday. The tour guide we were assigned, Khalid, is just a lovely human! He was very knowledgeable and a lovely man to chat to. He was calm, patient, and very gentle in his demeanour. We had a very fun time exploring the Nizwa Souq with Khalid - and even tasted his wife’s favourite halwa in Oman! Nizwa castle and fort were both a lot of fun, and you learn a lot about Oman from Nizwa’s history. The sightseeing would have been so much less fun without Khalid leading the way and explaining various facts - he even bought us Omani bread (a traditional and delicious snack) in Nizwa :-) the views from Jebel Akhdar are stunning and we got to explore village irrigation systems and old villages too. We we’re impressed with how much was packed in a short day and would highly highly recommend this company. The prices are also very reasonable for what you get (including level of service) and they are flexible with payment method too. We’ll come back to Oman - and we won’t hesitate to use Oman Star Tours again to see more of this lovely country!

Full day trip from Muscat to Nizwa and Jebel Akhdar - The Jebel Akhdar and Nizwa tour was a true marvel, offering a rich tapestry of places highlighted in our itinerary for a full-day adventure. It was an absolute gem of a trip, and I can confidently say it was the best experience. Gratitude for this remarkable journey.

Deserts and green hills - We had a great and emotional experience with a super guide and driver - until now the best of our Oman trip!

Enchanting Nizwa Tour & A Journey through History and Local life - Our choice to embark on the Nizwa tour was nothing short of spectacular. We explored the historic fort, immersed ourselves in the vibrant souq, strolled through the charming Al Hamra, and embarked on the unforgettable Misfat Al Arbiyeen journey. In these ancient villages, we delved deep into the local way of life, surrounded by lush palm tree plantations.

Our adventurous day - Exploring Nizwa and the Grand Canyon of Oman left us in awe of the breathtaking views. Our tour guide not only ensured our safety with careful driving but also made certain that we had an unforgettable and enjoyable trip.

Mountain tours - Wonderful and amazing day. Tour guide was excellent we had a 5 star experience with star tours. Mountain jebel akhdar was super breathtaking.

Travel with friends - We had a great day in Oman visiting the beautiful and unique places. Our tour guide Mr Khalfan his super helpful and cool person. Thank you Star Tours Oman for this memorable trip. Looking forward for our next trip with you guys.

Nizwa to the Green Mountain - Starting from Muscat we continue our program to the City of Nizwa wher we visited the souq, fort and the old villages at Birkat al mouz. Our guide help us to walk around and to have some coffe from the coffe shop there:) and we stay for a while to relax before we starts the next visit. Highly recommend.

Wonderful Omani Day Trip & Tour Guide - My husband and I were so lucky to have Ali as our tour guide throughout Nizwa, Jebel Akhdar, and Birkat Al Mouz. Ali was incredibly kind and generous (offered us Omani tea & coffee on the way there & back and made sure we had water). He was excited to share his love for his country and culture with us. We never once felt rushed throughout the day - so much so, that we lost track of time and the tour day finished up a couple hours later than originally planned! Thank you, Ali, for a wonderful day! We wish we could have stayed in Oman longer to learn & see more.
