Great Full Day Tour in East Salalah - We had a full day tour in September with Dr. Salim as our guide. He was very knowledgeable and explained the history and heritage of the region in a clear and engaging way. The program was well structured, allowing us to see the key sites of east Salalah at a comfortable pace. We also had the chance to take some great pictures and enjoyed a very good Omani lunch. Overall, it was a well-organized and enjoyable experience.

Not satisfied - I recently went on the East Salalah Mountain Safari with my friends, and unfortunately, the experience was disappointing compared to what was promised during booking. When I booked, the company provided us with a clear schedule that included 9 places. However, the tour guide only took us to 5 of them at first and even tried to bring us back early. Despite me reminding him multiple times that we wanted to visit all the places listed in the booking, he was reluctant and dismissive. After a lot of persuasion, he eventually took us to some additional spots, but it felt like we had to beg to get what we already paid for. When I asked him about the missing locations, his excuse was that he had a different schedule than the one the company provided. He also said that certain activities are only available in winter—yet there was no mention of this in the booking details, no emails, and no clear communication from the company. While we did end up visiting a few more places, the entire experience lacked professionalism. Instead of a smooth and enjoyable tour, we were left frustrated, wasting energy trying to convince the guide to follow through on the promised itinerary. For a paid trip, this is not acceptable. Clear communication, transparency, and sticking to the schedule are the least I would expect. I do not recommend this tour unless the company improves their coordination, trains their guides to respect the booking details, and ensures that customers receive the full experience that they pay for.
