- Climber292434592250 contributionsBeyond expectations!Had the best time with our 'fab' guide, Jihad! Right as we left, he had us try some local Omani chips and tea. We love trying local snacks and this was amazing. Went dune bashing.. Took a camel ride and feed the camels some bread. Thanks to Jihad, the camels came up and close and it was such a different experience. We then went to Wadi Bani Khalid and were encouraged to swim. It was magical. No crowds, crystal clear oasis water and some fish pedicure. Can never to back to 'normal' swimming pools now. Jihad's playful energy added to the fun. Some great conversations about Omani culture and lifestyle on our way back. Great restaurant recommendations for us foodies. What better way to experience a city than have well travelled and young local guide showing us around. Great day!Written 10 February 2025
- sahilm6870 contributionsThe best Oman day tour experienceWe had a splendid day tour of the glorious Wahiba sands and the mesmerising Wadi Bani Khalid with our tour guide Jihad. He picked us up from our hotel and we had the greatest time with him till the time he dropped us back in the evening. He introduced us to the oman culture and history, showed us various spots even on the way to our destinations, provided us with delicacies and coffee regularly and it was a pleasure having conversations with him about everything. He took us to great places to dine at and also captured photos and videos of us whenever we asked. The Sand dunes were glorious and Jihad made sure we had fun when we were driving through the desert. The Oasis we saw at the Wadi Bani Khalid is the most beautiful destination we have come across and we even got to swim in the clear water. Overall it was the best day of our tour and it was all thanks to the wonderful company of Jihad.Written 9 February 2025
- sahilm6870 contributionsGreat day tourGreat day tour with great company. Our driver cum guide Khalid made sure we enjoyed every single moment. He introduced us to the local culture and cuisines and showed the region in great detail. Not to mention he has great taste in music and even better driving skills. Completely worth our time and money.Written 8 February 2025
- roven18230 contributionsRoyal Oman experienceOur trip to the dunes and the wadi was made special by our guide Jihad Almamari who gave us a taste of Oman. He kept us thoughouly engaged throughout the day with content about Omani culture and way of life. He ensured that we got the best of shopping and food by giving us a flavor of buffet and street food and did not leave any stone unturned to give us a amazing experience.Written 30 January 2025
- IanH5200 contributionsMuch more than we ever expectedThis was our first time in Oman, and we loved every minute of our adventure exploring coast desert and mountain on our 6 day tour. It will take a while to process all of the brilliant experiences we had. The incredible beauty of this country spans its amazing geography and geology. Its ancient history so beautifully restored, its delicious food influenced from the surrounding countries and beyond. And most of all the calm kind hospitality of the Omani people. We lucked out getting Adil as our wonderful, knowledgeable, patient and generous guide. We laughed and we learned. And we are left keen to come back to continue the adventure. Thank you Adil. Only tweak we would suggest would be to stay in central Nizwa rather than on the outskirts.Written 16 January 2025
- Benjamin M0 contributionsIncredible day trip from MuscatThis was the absolute best thing we did on our trip to Oman and UAE. Nizwa fort is amazing, and Jebel Shams was absolutely dizzying and breathtaking. Our guide, Khalid, was extremely kind, courteous, and pleasant over the long 11 hour trip, and we loved getting to know him. He was especially helpful in the Nizwa Souq, where he gave us a tour of various dates, spices, halva, saffron, honey, and more. Unlike other souqs we visited, the merchants were helpful and patient rather than pushy. If you're in Muscat, you have to get out of the city to see more of this beautiful country.Written 15 January 2025
- Z2439MXfrankp0 contributionsGreat Trip to Jebel ShamsSaid was a great guide and the trip to Jebel Shams and Nizwa was perfect. We couldn’t have been happier with the time in the Nizwa souq, visiting the mountain and talking with Said throughout the day. And you so much for the wonderful memories!Written 7 January 2025
- Iriana I0 contributionsGreat private tour in OmanJihad our tour guide was lovely and patient. Gave us great museum suggestions for kids. Took us for Halwa (Omani sweets) and we stopped for shawarma while at the souk. Jihad gave us tips on what's considered a reasonably priced things and what isn't just to put things in context. Grand mosque was stunning even in moonlight. We didn't make it for visitor times 8-11 but we still get to experience the mosque.Written 14 December 2024

- laurarP4026TV0 contributionsUnforgettable tour with amazing tour guide!Our trip to Wahiba Desert and Wadi Bani Khalid was an incredible experience, thanks to our amazing guide, Jihad, who went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable. From the start, Jihad’s professionalism and warm personality set the tone. His deep knowledge of the region, its culture, and his genuine passion for sharing Oman’s beauty made the journey exceptional. In the Wahiba Desert, he guided us to stunning photo spots, a local Bedouin house for tea, and shared fascinating stories. At Wadi Bani Khalid, Jihad showed us the best swimming spots and hidden gems in this oasis paradise. His attention to detail—ensuring we were comfortable, hydrated, and capturing perfect photos—made all the difference. If you want a mix of stunning landscapes, adventure, and cultural immersion, this is it. With Jihad as your guide, you’re guaranteed an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!Written 26 November 2024
