Itinerary
The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque is one of those attractions merely have to visit if you're coming to Muscat. It is one of the foremost wonderful and luxurious modern mosques within the world.
Have a special Omani bread with tea and driving close to Shati Al-Qurm
Visit Mutrah Souq, one of the oldest markets in Oman, dating back about two hundred years and see Omani artefacts and collectables, including a group of conventional weapons, jewellery, clothes, spices, antiques, a few food stalls, household items, and some old models representing Omani rural and urban environments.
Al Alam Royal residence is the ceremonial royal residence of Sultan Qaboos and lays within the heart of Ancient Muscat. Built in 1972, the royal residence may be a fine example of modern Islamic design.
Al Mirani Post & Al Jalali Fortification was built by the Portuguese on Sixteenth-century, its nearness looms expansive over the harbor and contributes to the famous see of Muscat.
One of the unique features of Mutrah Fish Market is its traditional auction system. Fishermen bring in their catches, and buyers engage in lively bidding to secure the best selections. This age-old practice not only contributes to the local economy but also adds an element of excitement to the market.

Great tour. Highly recommended.
To see the top of the city, this trip is fine. The guide absolutely available. Perhaps to enjoy this tour to the fullest, it would take more time because our impression is that it is a bit too fast without dedicating the right time to everything. It would be better to do more calmly in a whole day
Per vedere il top della città, questa gita va benissimo. La guida assolutamente a disposizione. Forse per vivere al meglio questo tour, ci vorrebbe più tempo perché la nostra impressione è che sia un po’ troppo veloce senza dedicare il giusto tempo a tutto. Sarebbe da fare con più calma in una giornata intera
This was such a lovely way to see Muscat, which is a very interesting and pretty place. Add in a kind and knowledgable driver and a very comfortable car and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Muscat for the first time!

We had an amazing experience with Basher on the half-day Muscat city tour. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. We visited all the main highlights and had plenty of time to explore and take photos. Everything was well-organized, and Bashir shared interesting insights about the city’s history and culture.

The pace of the tour was ideal — not rushed, yet we covered all the key highlights. We especially appreciated the local insights and small details that made the tour feel authentic rather than generic. Our guide Hawwa was extremely kind.She explained everything clearly, answered all of our questions with patience, and made the entire experience both informative and enjoyable.

We had an excellent tour of Muscat with Hawwa. She was very knowledgeable and shared such interesting insights about life in Muscat. She adapted to our needs within the tour to allow for more time at the places we wanted to stay. Hawwa was on time and confirmed in advance (even though we only booked the night before!). I would highly recommend Hawwa and her tours!

We were on this private tour with our guide Basher. It really is private, he took only us two, which was very nice so he could tailor the tour according to our preferences and interests. We enjoyed this time very much. Thank you.

Yasir was an amazing guide. He tailored our tour to the time we had available on a stopover between flights and dropped us back at the airport. We had a very insightful discussion about Oman, both past and present - we saw the Mosque, the Opera House and the souk in Matrah, among many other sights.
