Great and Responsive Tour Company
We had 6 nights in Oman and chose Arabian Dreams Tours to help us with an amazing vacation. Khalifi, who owns the company, gave us personalized attention to make sure we were able to see and do everything we wanted to do in Oman. I went with my two kids and it was quite an adventure. We had two different guides, both named Mahmood and both terrific. We spent two days in Muscat. One day touring the souk and some of the major sites. The other day we snorkeled around the Daymaniyat Islands. Then we were driven to the Bimmah sink hole and Wadi Shab (which was amazing). Then we stayed in the desert, which was magical. Our last night was in Nizwa old town, which was lively and fun to walk around. Loved the trip!

Oman Tour - Muscat and Salalah
Mahmood and Khalifa were exceptional guides throughout our tour of Wadi Shab, the desert safari, Bima Sinkhole, Damaniyat island and Muscat city. Their deep local knowledge and friendly approach made each destination come alive, and they went above and beyond to tailor the experience to our group’s interests. We always felt safe, informed, and welcomed at every step.From sharing fascinating stories about Omani culture to helping us discover hidden gems, Mahmood and Khalifa made this journey truly unforgettable. Every part of the trip ran smoothly, and their genuine hospitality made us feel like more than just tourists. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic and memorable Oman adventure
Khalifa was also incredibly generous and accommodating when we had a last-minute shopping need. He ensured we found everything we required, going out of his way to offer a genuinely personal touch that made us feel valued and cared for as guests.This thoughtful help, beyond the set itinerary, really showcased Khalifa’s commitment to building a personal connection and providing outstanding service. Such dedication is rare and made our experience in Oman even more memorable.

10 out of 10 Muscat experience with Khalifa
Khalifa once again did not disappoint us.He came to pick us from our hotel at the arranged time. He took us to visit the sinkhole and explained everything in detail .Once again I would definitely recommend Khalifa .I wish I could give him 10 out of 10. The major plus point with him is his fluent English.
