A ride through history

We had a great tour of the aqar, if they could at least offer a bottle of water during the tour considering the hot temperatures.

Nizwa, a city of creativity and ambition

We rode with Anas; his explanation was excellent and comprehensive. We asked him questions, and he answered us professionally. I recommend him. The prices are very reasonable and acceptable. The ride might have been over 20 minutes. The host's patience was appreciated by all of us. We'd rate the service a 7 out of 5.

Anas was really amazing

Anas was amazing! He was so helpful and friendly, with such a great way of guiding tours. My daughter still keeps asking about him until today — that’s how memorable the experience was. It truly made our visit unforgettable. I highly recommend Anas for the best experience in Alaker Village.
