Muttrah Fort is located in the Wilayat of Muttrah in the Muscat Governorate, Sultanate of Oman. Muttrah Castle is located on the seashore, overlooking the Gulf of Oman. It stands tall in front of the sea, inhaling its air, which is filled with the scent of memories of the ships that traveled back and forth, and within it are events and facts that bear faithful witness to it, and it remains one of its witnesses and landmarks that are inseparable from its events and facts. From above a rocky outcrop close to the beach and at the top of a narrow rocky plateau, the Muttrah Fort overlooks high, united with its ancient past, Hash Bash, with its bright present.

We had a very good taxi tour today and I would recommend to others. The places to visit are spread out across Muscat so a car is essential. The benefit of this type of tour is that you can spend as long or as little at each place to suit you. The Grand Mosque was particularly impressive. Our driver gave us information about each visit and added in more places to see as there were some closures due to Eid.
I hope you come back again. Thank you, my friend. We are happy with your comment and review.
Our guide was punctual and friendly, and gave us some general information about Oman and the places we visited. The car was clean and comfortable with AC. Overall, we would recommend the tour.

We had a great time with Yahya. He showed us the old nutmeg, took us to Mutrah Souq and we could also go to the big mosque on Friday prayers, which is worth an experience. We were also able to examine the wonderful opera house, which shines with its great architecture. He as a person was always very nice and accommodating. So we found a friend for life in Oman.

Thank you very much!!!
I say it frankly, you are one of the best people I have met during my professional career with guests. You are wonderful and I always mention you with my family, and as you told me, we must meet twice in life.
Everything was great. We felt very comfortable. Everyone was happy. There was a bit of a story explanation missing, especially for both children.
Thank you so much ☺️
Car was send without guide. When contacted local office he said guide was ill. We should have been informed earlier so that we can book another tour. We went around but was not able to know history of any place. You should take our money back from local agent and refund it to us. Will be waiting for your response.
I told you that he will return you to the hotel after taking you to the mosque and I will return the money to you, but you agreed and said we will take the tour, and now you are demanding a refund. You do not deserve the service and you are a fraud.
We went on a 8-9 private tour to Wahiba Sands and Wadi ibn Khalid. We also get a taxi drive to and from the airport. Everything was excellent. Very professional, respectful driver/tourguide. They helped us a lot to get to know Muscat from a local view. We highly recommand this company. Verry reliable and if you travel alone or only women this is very safe and trustworthy. Oman is beautiful, like a fairytale. The people are very polite and kind. We enjoyed everything.
Thank you for your trust, it is my pleasure
Although I had perfect communication before arrival, I was disappointed to find that this firm provided a driver not a guide. I expected to be told about the history and diversity of the city, and the sites that we were visiting. That was not possible, as my driver did not speak, conversant English. This may have been a function of the person who drove me around, but I was disappointed by the service. Zero enthusiasm from this guide.
Who is the person who took you and when was your reservation date with us? I expect you are wrong
