As I did a customized tour, I visited only the Bahla fort and the Oman across ages museum. Both places were very interesting and worth of visiting if you are in Oman. My guide Amer was very knowledgeable about the history and the customs of his country.

Our private guide, Ahmed Alghammari, made this tour very enjoyable. His knowledge of each place we went to increased the value of our visits. He had a great sense of humor and was super friendly. We showed him some photos we found on Instagram, and he knew exactly where we needed to go to get those same shots. That saved us so much time! I’d definitely recommend this tour when you’re in Muscat. If you’re lucky enough to get Ahmed, you can expect a fun-filled day and you’ll learn things while you’re at it.

Great tour sites to learn some of the history of Oman with a reasonable pace and the tour guide was excellent.
