Your evening begins with a convenient hotel pickup in Muscat, where you’ll be greeted by a friendly guide ready to lead you through the city’s highlights. The first stop is the magnificent Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque. While entry isn’t available during the evening, the mosque’s illuminated façade exudes a serene beauty, making it a breathtaking sight against the backdrop of the night. You’ll also stop at the Royal Opera House, another architectural marvel. Both locations provide the perfect settings for stunning photographs that capture the grandeur of these landmarks.

Jamal is the best guide! I learned so much. It’s a great tour, and the transport was very convenient. We were three people, and we were driven in a Lexus.

Sehr tolle Tour mit unserem Guide Jamal. Wir waren alleine unterwegs, und er hat die Tour ganz auf uns abgestimmt! Während der Fahrt hat er auch einen Tisch in einem typischen omanischen Restaurant für uns reserviert. Alles in allem war es ein Top-Erlebnis!

We booked this tour last minute, and it turned out to be the best tour of our week in Oman. Jamal was incredibly nice and knowledgeable. He explained so much and even adjusted the trip to our preferences, taking us to a fantastic restaurant to try some local food. If I return to Muscat, I will definitely book another tour with him. I highly recommend this tour. Thank you, Jamal!

After a full day of exploring, seeing Muscat in the night lights was amazing! Jamal is a great guide, and he showed us a wonderful side of old Muscat. We absolutely loved this program!
Helpful? Yes
Jamal was very pleasant and informative. He answered all our numerous questions and was flexible with the timing. We had choices for what to do and where to eat. There were many great photo opportunities, and the climb to the top of Muttrah Fort was definitely worth the effort. Highly recommended!

The guide spoke very quietly at the front of the car while we were driving. It was a small car, and the three of us were quite cramped in the back.

Our guide, Jamal, was friendly, punctual, and flexible. I appreciated his insights and his willingness to drop me off at the airport. The tour itself was average. While every place we visited was amazing, the description didn't mention that we wouldn't be able to go inside any of the destinations. We all thought we would be entering the mosque or the fort. Additionally, the description mentioned traditional and authentic Omani food, but instead, we got sandwiches and French fries, which was disappointing.
Helpful? Yes
The transport was good, and the guide was excellent, answering all our questions. The group consisted of just two of us. However, I want to clarify that you don’t enter or explore the buildings, you only stand outside them. I was a bit underwhelmed by what the tour company referred to as "dinner." Perhaps my expectations were too high when I booked the tour. The "dinner" wasn’t at a restaurant; it was a kebab and a drink in a plastic cup at the souk entrance, which would cost very little to buy. If I had known this, I probably wouldn’t have booked the tour.
Helpful? Yes
It was really beneficial for me to explore Muscat for a few hours with a guide, and the evening timing made it less crowded and more relaxed. The Grand Mosque was by far the best site, even though we couldn’t go inside. Mahmood was helpful and kind throughout the tour.

La guida, Jamal, è stata super professionale, amichevole e ci ha fornito molte informazioni interessanti. È stato sicuramente un punto di forza del nostro tour ????. Abbiamo apprezzato la vista della Grande Moschea al tramonto e quando si è fatto buio, l'Opera, la vista di Muttrah da una collina e la visita al Bustani Palace sono state incredibili. Grazie, Jamal!
