A great Muscat experience. - Star Tours have been excellent. Their communications pre-arrival are just what you need - clear, prompt and courteous. The Transfer from Muscat Airport to our hotel was faultless despite our delayed flight. Our first day with our guide Amer has been really enjoyable with us gaining a great insight into Omani culture and life in this beautiful country. Highlights have been visits to the Grande Mosque, the Souk and a very relaxed lunch. We are looking forward to the rest of the trip. Thank you Star Tours.

Full day Muscat tour - Oman has a lot to offer! Rich in culture and beautiful city! Nasr was a wonderful guide and very knowledgeable. Pretty laid back tour, no pressure and got to spend more time in places, not always on a rush! That was good. A must do when in Muscat! Highly recommend Nasr!

Muscat City Tour - Unfortunately, this was our last day trip with Khalid Alraqadi and Youssef, the Muscat City Tour.
We started our tour at the magnificent Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, where we received a free English translated Quran and enjoyed a cup of ginger tea. Afterward, we visited another mosque that was not originally on our itinerary. It was much smaller but had a unique charm, a beautiful mosque covered entirely in white.
The Royal Opera House was our next stop. Breathtakingly beautiful! For a building that is less than 20 years old, it felt like stepping back in time. Although we could not see the main hall fully lit due to an evening performance, Khalid’s fascinating explanations about the construction and mechanisms of the venue were more than enough to impress us.
After that, we headed to the vibrant Mutrah Souq. Khalid and Youssef guided us to some of the best shops with the best prices and helped us find everything we were looking for. We left with some wonderful souvenirs.
At last, after a lunch stop in the old town, we ended our day at the National Museum. On our way back, we sang Arabic songs in the car while enjoying the stunning views of the Corniche. It was the perfect ending to an unforgettable trip.
My journey in Oman will forever etch in my heart due to them

Once to experience - The communication with the tour company was smooth and instant via SMS, which we really appreciated.
Unfortunately, we were unable to visit the Opera House due to VIP visitors, but this wasn’t the company’s fault.
The Grand Mosque was absolutely worth visiting – a true highlight of the tour. The museum was informative and gave us a good sense of the history. The fish market was interesting to experience, while the souk was ok.
Overall, I didn’t feel I fully connected with Muscat as a city. There didn’t seem to be many vibrant promenades or places to walk and enjoy. However, this is more about the nature of the city itself rather than any shortcomings of the tour company.
As a tourist perspective, Muscat has its own charm but perhaps not the kind of lively urban atmosphere some might expect.
