An Unforgettable Salalah Tour with Salma! - My husband and I just had a full-day private tour of Salalah, covering both East and West, and it was amazing. Despite visiting in September, a bit late in the Khareef season, we could still see many amazing sites and coast vistas, breaking waves, camels in the fields, and much more. While we didn't get to see many waterfalls, our experience was made exceptional by our guide, Salma. Salma was not only a superb tour guide, but also a great driver, navigating the diverse landscapes with ease. She's a natural storyteller, sharing insights and local knowledge that helped us truly appreciate the history and culture. Her passion for Salalah and Oman was palpable, as she shared examples of local traditions from her own life. This made our tour a rich and personal experience. We both loved every moment of it. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, engaging, and professional guide for your Salalah exploration, we recommend booking a tour with Salma.

It was a great tour. - I suddenly had an idea to plan a trip to Salalah from Dubai for two days and one night with a bullet. Two hours in flydubai, it was a lush paradise apart from the Arab world we knew. I want to see all the bullets!! This tour was what I arrived at. The tour guide, Amin, was very good, not only at keeping the key points east and west down, but also adding places that were not on the tour and teaching me Salalah stories with a lot of humor in beautiful English. I was able to do my time allocation without graduating and enjoy Salala to the fullest in one day. This tour is recommended for those who don't have time but want to see it all!

Private tour showcasing Salalah’s hidden gems, rich culture, and warm hospitality. - An unforgettable tour in Salalah! We booked a private tour and visited unique places we never knew existed — from scenic mountains and old houses to stunning oceans. The trip was well-organized and showcased Salalah’s rich history, culture, and landscapes. Our guide, Mr. Amin, was polite, respectful, and made us feel comfortable throughout. The car was spotless, water always available, and hospitality was excellent. Highly recommended!

Salalah Tour - Tour started before 9 am. Our guide, Salim, was professional and good in English. He explained what we were going to see ahead of time. Also he planned the whole tour as per time, location, interest. We liked his advise regarding the tour plan and followed it. It was a nice plan and we visited various attractions one after another without any delay/ shortage of time. He was very accommodating and helpful. We would recommend his service to others without any reservation.

Wonderful day trip with our guide! - We had a wonderful time with Salim, our private tour guide. He was exceptionally friendly and informative throughout the car journey, sharing fascinating stories about Salalah’s history as well as his own personal experiences. I was thrilled to see camels roaming along the roads, and Salim always slowed down so I could snap photos. Since we visited in May—a quiet season—we missed the waterfalls and oasis scenery we had hoped for. We’ll definitely need to return in a few months to experience the lush greenery instead of the dry desert.
