A day trip to Oman Mountains - The trip was a well scheduled full day tour. Our guide Amer is very knowledgeable and friendly. He helped to make our experience enjoyable even though we chose to visit during the holy month of Ramadan. We learned from Amer a lot about the history and tradition of Oman. We will definitely come back again!

Amazing experience with Oman Landscape Tours and Nasr as our guide. - We couldnā€™t hope for a better excursion in Oman. Experiencing the old Oman Capital - Nizwa and Jabal Shams mountain with the great canyon, and having Nasr as our guide was highlight of our entire trip to Oman. Great organization, friendly staff and safe Nasr's driving impressed us so much that during next trip we will definitely book another excursion with Oman Landscape Tours. Thank you Nasr and Analiza!
