I took a full day tour with Khalid. It was a wonderful day. Khalid picked me up early so that we could see the fascinating Friday meat auction market at Nizwa. That together with the Souq and Fort made our time in Nizwa special. We took in the beautiful views of Jebel Sham and Oman's Grand Canyon. The drive up the mountains was wonderful in and of itself. Then visiting the old Al Hamra and Misfat AlAbreyeen was a lovely way to end the day by exploring these traditional small towns. Khalid was extremely knowledgeable and did everything to make the tour perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better guide and experience to maximize my time in Muscat!

Our trip to **Jebel Shams** was truly one of the highlights of our visit to Oman. From the moment we left Muscat, the journey was filled with spectacular scenery, fascinating history, and breathtaking mountain landscapes. The drive through the majestic Hajar Mountains was absolutely stunning, with every stop offering incredible photo opportunities. Visiting the traditional villages along the way gave us a wonderful glimpse into Omani culture and heritage. Reaching Jebel Shams, famously known as the **"Grand Canyon of Arabia,"** was simply awe-inspiring. Standing at the edge of the canyon and taking in the panoramic views is an experience we will never forget. A special thank you to **Mr. Moosa** from **Oman Spirit** for making the entire day truly exceptional. He was punctual, friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights into Oman's history, culture, and natural beauty throughout the journey. His warm personality, genuine hospitality, and passion for his country made the experience even more memorable. The entire trip was exceptionally well organized, comfortable, and perfectly paced, giving us plenty of time to enjoy each viewpoint, explore the surroundings, and fully appreciate the breathtaking scenery. Every aspect of the tour exceeded our expectations. If you're visiting Muscat, a trip to Jebel Shams is an absolute must. The breathtaking views, peaceful atmosphere, and outstanding hospitality make it an unforgettable adventure. We highly recommend this experience with **Oman Spirit** and **Mr. Moosa**, and we would happily do it again!

We did the Nizwa tour with Sameer today. It was a fantastic day with breathtaking scenery, culture, and food. Sameer told us a great deal about his homeland. We recommend him 100%.

It was such a wonderful trip where we covered not only the Nizwa fort, but visited traditional market as well as the traditional village. Our guide was so knowledgeable and knew every detail related to historical aspects of the places. He also took us to the best place Jabel Shams to get the awesome view of the mountains and valley. I would like to thank M. Sulaiman, our guide, for taking us through there and for making it a memorable one. I highly recommend his services and this tour company.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Oman Landscape Tours, and I couldn’t recommend them more. I took a private tour to Nizwa, Jebel Shams, and several traditional villages, and everything was perfectly organized and beautifully paced. Each stop felt meaningful and unhurried, allowing me to truly enjoy the history, the landscapes, and everyday life in Oman. A special thank you goes to Ms. Analiza, whose organization was flawless from start to finish. Communication was always clear, timely, and thoughtful, and I felt supported and well taken care of at every step. And then there is Mr. Badar, my guide, who truly made the experience special. He is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and deeply connected to his country. His insights and stories added depth and meaning to every place we visited, from the dramatic views of Jebel Shams to the quiet charm of the villages. This was more than just a tour—it was a carefully curated journey into Oman’s culture, history, and landscapes. If you’re looking for a private, authentic, and high-quality experience, Oman Landscape Tours is an excellent choice. Highly recommended and unforgettable.

Super comfortable car and driver BADAR very attentive, prudent and kind. He also served as our cicero in Nizwa Fort. For a group of only two women, this was very important and reassuring. We visited very characteristic places (to reach the “Grand Canyon of Oman”) you pass through a road, partly dirt, that crosses a lunar landscape. The hike takes several hours, but it is absolutely worth it

We had a wonderful day touring Oman with Oman Landscape Tours, and it was made truly special by our guide, Badar. He was incredibly kind, a fantastic driver, especially on the off-road journey up to Jebel Shams, and he shared thoughtful and interesting insights into Omani culture throughout the day. The day was perfectly thoughtfully planned, beginning with Nizwa Fortress and the lively souq, where we caught the bd of the Friday goat market. Nizwa was followed by the stunning drive up to Jebel Shams. Pictures don’t do it justice, honest it! We then continued on to Al Hamra and the beautiful village of Misfah al Abryeen, where we stopped at a really cool coffee shop hidden in the village. Badar’s attention to detail and personal touches made the experience feel unique and memorable. From introducing us to a local coffee stop where you drive up and honk for service, to ensuring every part of the day felt special, we felt genuinely cared for throughout. We highly recommend Oman Landscape Tours, and especially Badar, for an unforgettable experience in Oman. Also, Analiza was fantastic to work with from point of booking to answering our questions. She made everything so easy.
