great trip! great driver & guide - We were picked up by Said AlKiyumi, our driver and guide. He took us to all the important places and explained about the history and culture of Nizwa. He had great attention to detail even though it was VERY hot and humid the whole day and didn’t mind walking with us in all the places we visited and still offer to take photos. Should definitely book this tour if you want to get to know Nizwa in one day. Said is VERY accommodative!!

Excellent tour to discover the culture and the landscape of Oman - Very nice tour with a lot of interesting things to see and a very efficient and nice tour guide.
Nizwa was very nice to visit, specially the fort and the traditionnal souk, we bought some souvenirs from here.
Jabal Akhdar was very nice to visit as well, with beautiful view on top of the mountain.
Khalil was a very nice with us and explained a lot of things that we never could figure out by ourselves.
We recommend it.

Trip to Nizwa to see the souq and fort - We decided to take a private tour to Nizwa and Jebel Akhdar. Our guide was Khalil AlJabri who was perfect, knows everyone and shows us very kind people and places. You can talk about and question everything and has a sense of humour, so we laughed a lot. I recommend this tour anyone who want to get out of Muscat and see countryside Oman. Finally we got some extra rain at the end of a tour fortunately, there was no rain for 2 years.

My experience at Nizwa and Jebel al Akhtar - Nizwa is a historical place to visit and my tour guide khalil al Jabri covered the Nizwa fort, Nizwa castle and Nizwa souq. Also the viewpoint of Jebel al akhtar is splendid and is a good place to visit to escape the heat.

One thousand and one nights tour - our private tour to nizwa was amazing and this thanks to our guide Nasr that very helpful and friendly. He has a very deep knowledge of the attractions and explained everything in detail. The tour to the fort is very suggestive, it seems to immerse yourself in a tale of One Thousand and One Nights. recommended tour!
