Enjoyed my experience a lot - Really enjoyed the tour with Hamid. I was picked up on time and had enough time to explore all the places. Hamid was polite and never pushy. He was also very knowledgeable - I learned a lot of Omani history and culture from him. I was lucky as the weather was quite good when I visited these unique places, each of which got its own beauty and charm. The Taqah fort at the end of our trip was really nice. You can go to the very top and enjoy a panoramic view of the entire Taqah town and the far reaching Indian Ocean. I would highly recommend a tour with Hamid. You are in for a wonderful journey!

Half Day Tour East Salalah - This was an amazing tour and our guide, Hamad, was really amazing. Salalah is extremely beautiful and Having a guide who knew all the spots was the icing on the cake! Super cheerful, super knowledgeable and very patient. His car was also extremely comfortable so we rode in comfort throughout. We really enjoyed our time with him! Thank you so much, Hamad for a lovely time

A great tour - Took a trip with this company last year which was wonderful. The staff are knoweledgable, friendly and helpful during my trip. As a female travelling solo it can be a little bit difficult travelling to cultural enviroments where it may be little bit uncomfortable without a male companion. Not to worry though the trips were fun and Salalah is enriched with historical places to see. The people are welcoming of visitors and the team made me feel comfortable travelling solo. I highly reccommend them!
