Amazing week with Saïd !
We booked this trip a year ago, and despite some initial concerns regarding the geopolitical situation, we decided to move forward with our plans. The reassurance from the company and the information we received convinced us that everything would go smoothly — and we were absolutely right!
We had an extraordinary week, largely thanks to our guide, Said.
We cannot recommend him highly enough (though we hope you’re lucky enough to book him, as he is clearly in high demand!).
The week was full of incredible surprises and diverse experiences, including:
• Traditional Craftsmanship: Visiting local pottery workshops and a rose perfume distillery.
• Culture & History: Exploring magnificent castles and authentic traditional villages.
• Engineering Wonders: Learning about the ancient falaj irrigation systems.
• Gastronomy: Enjoying the rich and delicious local cuisine.
• Breathtaking Landscapes: A perfect mix of the desert, the sea, and the mountains.
We recommend this company 200%.
They were professional from start to finish. Thank you for making this trip so special!

Dear Guests,
What a wonderful review to read — thank you for taking the time to write it.
We're especially grateful that you trusted us despite the understandable hesitation before your departure. Oman remains one of the safest and most welcoming countries in the region, and being able to reassure you beforehand — and then have the week live up to it — is exactly what we hope for.
Said will be very happy to read your words. He is indeed in high demand, and reviews like yours are the reason why.
We were delighted to see you experience so many different sides of Oman: the pottery workshops and rose distillery of the mountains, the castles and traditional villages, the ingenuity of the falaj systems, and of course the food. That combination of desert, sea and mountains in a single week is precisely what makes this country so special.
Thank you for your trust and your kind recommendation. You will always be welcome back.
Warm regards,
The Mountain Towers Tourism Team

Muscat, Oman through the Ages Museum, Nizwa, Jabal Akhdar, Bandar Al Rowdah Marina (snorkeling)
We were in Muscat for only a short time, so we requested a private tour tailored to the specific sights we wanted to see. One of our day trips took us to Nizwa Fort and Souk, the Oman Through the Ages Museum, and Jabal Akhdar-and it was absolutely wonderful. Jabal Akhdar was quite cold (definitely pack warm clothes if you’re visiting in winter!), but the views were breathtaking. Both the museum and Jabal Akhdar were stunning, and I loved learning more about Oman’s rich history. Our visit felt far too short.
Our guide for the day, Imaad, was an excellent and confident driver. We felt completely safe navigating the steep mountain roads up to Jabal Akhdar, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
Another guide, Shakera (from The Ubuntu Hub, who works with MTT), took us on an incredible city tour of Muscat. We visited the magnificent Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, which is truly breathtaking. I loved the architectural details, especially the different mihrabs in the courtyard inspired by Islamic art and architecture from around the world. The gardens were equally spectacular.
We also explored the Mutrah Corniche and Souk, the Al Alam Palace, and then Shakera treated us to an authentic Omani lunch. It was unforgettable-my first time trying camel meat, and I honestly couldn’t believe how delicious it was! I even preferred it to the lamb, which says a lot since lamb is usually my favourite. We also visited the modern and beautiful Al Mouj Mosque, the nearby marina with its high end restaurants, hotels and store, and Al Hail Beach, where we enjoyed a relaxing walk along with traditional karak tea and Omani chips.
Shakera also arranged a boat trip from Marina Bandar Al Rowdah to a small island (not the Daymaniyat Islands), where we went dolphin watching and snorkeling. I was lucky enough to spot turtles, and this experience was without a doubt the highlight of my trip, as snorkeling is something I truly love.
I would highly recommend Shakera and MTT to anyone visiting Oman. Their services were exceptional, and I will absolutely use them again on future visits.

A special guide
We were lucky enough to experience an unforgettable trip to Oman, accompanied by a very special guide, Said, competent and attentive, who introduced us not only to the places, but above all to the soul of the country.
From Muscat to Nizwa, passing through the wonderful Wadi, traditional villages and desert, every stop was enriched by his passionate story and deep knowledge of Omani culture.
I recommend this experience to anyone who wants to discover a different, authentic and extraordinarily welcoming Middle East — and with a guide like ours, it truly becomes a journey of the heart.
