Best guide in Oman - Nizwa & co tour! - Our recent exploration of the wonders of Nizwa and the majesty of Jabal Akhdar was made an unforgettable experience by my exceptional Omani guide, Ghusun. From the very first moment, his passion for his country and his deep knowledge of the local culture were evident. He didn't just show us the most famous tourist sites, but also led us through less-traveled paths, revealing hidden gems that are rarely found in traditional guidebooks. What made this experience truly special was the way our guide shared his lifestyle and directly introduced us to Omani culture. We had the opportunity to visit authentic local markets, taste traditional dishes in restaurants frequented by locals, and even participate in brief moments of daily life that offered us a genuine glimpse into Omani hospitality and traditions. His advice was invaluable: he suggested the best times to visit certain places, pointed out small local artisans where I could buy authentic souvenirs, and told us stories and anecdotes that brought the places we were visiting to life. It wasn't just a guided tour, but a real cultural exchange. His kindness, his willingness to answer all our questions, and his sincere desire to make me appreciate the beauty and authenticity of Oman made this trip a transformative experience. If you are looking for a way to discover Nizwa and Jabal Akhdar by going beyond the tourist surface, connecting with the true essence of the country, and receiving advice from a local, I cannot recommend this guide highly enough. Thanks to him, We took away not only memories of breathtaking landscapes, but also a deep appreciation for the Omani culture and people.
