An amazing tour with Khalid!
My guide Khalid AlRaqadi was exceptional. He was friendly, knowledgeable and highly professional. He served as my guide and driver for my all-day trip to Nizwa, Jebel Akhdar, and Barkat Almuz old village, and I felt very well taken care of. I had an amazing day, and I would highly recommend Khalid anytime you are planning a trip to the beautiful country of Oman.

We had a fantastic day with our guide, Khalid AlRaqadi, travelling from Muscat to Alila Jabal Akhdar.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had a fantastic day with our guide, Khalid AlRaqadi, travelling from Muscat to Alila Jabal Akhdar.
Our tour included Nizwa Souq, Nizwa Fort, Birkat Al Mouz Old Village and Jabal Al Akhdar, and every stop was absolutely worth it. Khalid was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and attentive throughout the whole day. He shared lots of interesting information about Oman, its history, culture and local life, while keeping the tour relaxed and enjoyable.
What made the day especially memorable was Khalid himself: warm, genuine, patient and very easy to talk to. We never felt rushed and the whole experience felt very personal rather than like a standard guided tour.
We can highly recommend Khalid to anyone visiting Oman. An excellent guide and a truly lovely person.
We are already looking forward to travelling with him again in two days for our return journey!
Thank you, Khalid, for a wonderful day and a great introduction to this beautiful part of Oman.

Best experience every with Mohammed Salim
I took a busy vacation trip from Canada with my partner in December 2025. I had an amazing experience with Mohammed Salim. We did the Nizwa/Jabel Akhdar tour. He want out of his way to not only made us feel welcome but treat us like a family. We not only went to all the necessary places in our itinerary, he was kind to get us some dates and breakfast. We felt extremely comfortable with him and took great care of us. I connected with him like a family and was really inspired by his story. If you are in Oman, please go with Sunshine Tours, you will have a great time.

A nice trip to Jebel Akhdar
We had a very comfortable and enjoyable trip from Muscat to Jebel Akhdar. We were guided by Fauzi, who didn’t only drive but also explained about Oman history and culture. We stopped in some famous spots on the way, such as Nizwa Port, Nizwa souk, Nizwa old village, and Jebel Akhdar view points. Fauzi was knowledgeable and accommodating, made sure we enjoyed our trip. Highly recommended!

Excellent Trip
★★★★★ 5 Stars
We had an amazing experience with our Oman day tour to Nizwa and Jebel Akhdar. Our tour guide, Mr. Said Al Kiyumi, was outstanding — professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and very patient throughout the entire trip. He shared fascinating information about Oman’s history, culture, and traditions, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
The itinerary was perfectly organized, covering Nizwa Souq, Nizwa Fort, Birkat Al Mouz, and the breathtaking views of Jebel Akhdar. Mr. Said made sure we were comfortable at every stop and gave us enough time to enjoy and explore each place. The 4WD vehicle was clean and comfortable, and the driving was very safe and smooth.
We truly enjoyed every moment of the tour and highly recommend Mr. Said Al Kiyumi and the tour company to anyone visiting Oman. Thank you for making our trip unforgettable!
