Amazing day in Muscat
We had a wonderful day today visiting the Grand Mosque, Mutra souk, Parliament buildings,Al Zubair Museum and the cream was the visit to Royal Opera house.
Our guide Amer, was really good fun to be with. He explained all the details of each place and made it a very memorable day for us. He was very good with taking pictures, helping us shop around in Mutra souk. He gave us a true taste of Oman by being so hospitable and making us try the Omani bread and the amazing Omani coffee with dates. We are very grateful for such a lovely day and we look forward to the rest of the trip.
Thank you Sunshine tours !

A Perfect Mix of Learning, Shopping, and Fun!
The tour was organised with clear arrangements and an excellent guide who explained everything clearly. The admission fees were affordable, and the guide even helped us bargain at the souk — such a nice touch! Truly worth it!

A very full day!
We packed a lot into 8 hours with our expert guide Adil. He displayed good local knowledge, good English and a good sense of humour. Our tour covered all the itinerary items, with times spent at each set by us. Plus a few extras. We finished up watching wave surfers and doing donuts on the beach…
