Our guide Ahmed was an Omani national and was exceptionally well versed in the history of Oman, definitely enriched our experience to hear the occasional cultural tidbits. Furthermore, he knew of hidden pristine beaches, the best viewpoints and generously offered us lunch and tea. The West is definitely worth seeing, specially the drive down to Fazayah beach.
We are grateful that you have shared your experience. We are glad that you have enjoyed the private tour. It was real pleasure to organize it for you. We are looking forward to welcoming you in Salalah again.
We have enjoyed this private trip from pick up to return to the hotel. The guide from Takamul Travel Mr. Tomastik gave us very interesting and detailed introduction into Oman history and also current situation, We could talk all the way from one stop to another but enjoy the nature in silence as well. Trip was very well prepared and we were rewarded by unforgettable view from the highest cliff we have ever seen and also by atmosphere on the beaches where we were totally alone.
