From the time I initiated the booking request, Hajer had been very responsive and organized. The guests had a really great time during the boat tour and kept on mentioning how great it was! Looking forward to more tours and engagements with Hajer!Golden hour boat tour

My trip to Oman was amazing to begin with, hands down, would relocate to tomorrow as an expat if there was a physician job available. And furthermore, the Omani people are the most hospitable, genuine and gracious people I have met in all my travels. However, to top it off, Hajer, I promise you, will be one of the fascinating, accomplished and just WONDERFUL people you will ever meet. I had the most memorable and wonderful time with her over the course of two days. Highly recommend the city tour with her as well as Nizwa. It truly is like spending two days in a magic place with a friend you have known forever. I HIGHLY HIGHLY endorse, Hajer. I miss her already and certainly will be back to see her wonderful country in the future. Most fascinating woman you will meet!

I booked the Full coverage Muscat city tour with Hajer as my guide. I felt like I was chatting to a new friend showing me her home city while telling me the cultural history of Muscat's buildings, structures and landscapes. Among the must see sights Hajer took me to, I got to see things that aren't featured in travel guides or YouTube videos. Hajer was also able to tailor the experience to my personal preferences which was fantastic. This tour was the perfect way to orientate myself to this wonderful city and I was able to make the most out of my remaining time here. I highly recommend engaging Hajer for your Muscat experience - you won't be disappointed. A must-book Muscat tour guide!

We had an afternoon trip with Hajer and it was most enjoyable. From the Grand Mosque to the Portuguese forts, from the beach to the Muttrah souk, this was a thoroughly enjoyable and interesting trip. Hajer is an exceptional guide: sensitive to the wishes of the people she is showing around, but also able to come up with an excellent tour which gives you a real flavour of the beautiful city of Muscat. She is intelligent, interesting in her own right and a source of much information. We even finished up at a typical Multan bbq kiosk and enjoyed our mishkak and camel burgers! Lots of lovely touches - a stop for high quality coffee, dates in the car - all added to a great day!Outstanding

Hajer was perfectly pleasant but I felt that she just wasn't as enthusiastic as her profile suggested and I did expect more information about the places we visited.Good but not great

We had an amazing half-day tour in Muscat with Hajer! She was incredibly friendly, super nice, and made the experience truly enjoyable. We got to see so many beautiful sights around the city, and the visit to the souk was absolutely fabulous. Hajer’s knowledge and warm personality made the tour even more special.

I was on my own in Muscat and had a wonderful day with Hajer! She covered all the highlights of the city and was happy to answer all of my questions about life and work in Oman. I appreciated that she shared aspects of her personal life and career, so it felt like having a friend for the day. Foodies will also be very happy, as she makes sure you have a nice sampling of local treats along with an amazing lunch! I also appreciated her recommendations for things to do after our time together, leading to an overall wonderful stay in the city. Hope to be back soon for a longer trip!Perfect experience for a solo traveler

We had a wonderful tour with Hajer last night in Oman! She was absolutely lovely—kind, thoughtful, and incredibly accommodating. I’m not a fan of fast car rides, and she made sure to drive smoothly, which I really appreciated. She also catered to our dietary preferences, taking us to enjoy delicious hot potatoes and excellent coffee instead of meat-based options. Beyond that, she shared so much local knowledge, making the experience both enriching and enjoyable. Her warm and easygoing nature made the tour feel relaxed and special. Highly recommend Hajer for anyone looking for a personalised and comfortable experience in Oman! 🌟✨Amazing Tour Guide in Oman!

We had a fantastic day with Hajer, and she made our trip to Oman so enjoyable. From the start, she was incredibly kind and supportive. She even helped us with our questions and provided a local guide’s contact for the mountains, which was super helpful in finalizing the rest of our itinerary. Hajer isn’t your traditional Omani tour guide — she gave us an authentic look at how modern youth enjoy Oman, and we loved every minute of it. If you’re looking for a traditional tour with a focus on history and a lot of information about the city, this might not be the right fit, but if you want to get a true local’s perspective on life in Oman, Hajer’s tour is highly recommended. She picked us up in her own cool car, which made the day feel more personal, and took us to so many great spots. She even took us to her favorite coffee spot, showed us a local market where Omanis shop for dates, and helped us bargain in the souq — we got more than we could have hoped for. Thank you, Hajer, for an experience that truly felt like a day spent with a friend rather than a tour guide.Modern Oman Through the Eyes of Hajer

We had a great time on Hajer’s tour. As well as seeing all the main attractions, she took us to some of her favourite spots in and around Muscat including a lovely local fish restaurant and sweet parlour. Hajer was very knowledgeable and interesting and answered our many questions! Overall, a great way to see Muscat with a super guide and vehicle. Excellent Muscat City tour with Hajer

Hajer was an excellent tour guide - we thoroughly recommend a tour with Hajer! We did both the evening city tour and full day mountain village tour. Both tours gave us a great insight into food, culture, history and daily life in Oman in an urban and rural context. Hajer was friendly, fun and informative throughout. We left Oman full of wonderful memories with a great appreciation of the wonderful Omani people and their beautiful country. Thanks Hajer! Insiders tour of Oman - must do!

It was our first time visiting Muscat and we only had two days to roam. So we decided to hire a guide for one day. And it was the right decision. Hajer was the perfect guide. Even more than that, she was a host. Beside showing the main attractions, she took us to her favourite spots, all while considering our interests, wishes. She is a knowledgeable, well informed, polite, funny modern woman and a safe driver. Her car was spotless. When we discussed returning to Oman to see more of this beautiful country, she shared valuable information, tips for exploring this beautiful country. We highly recommend her and wish her all the best for the future!Muscat: personalised experience

I really enjoyed my evening tour with Hajer, because it gave me an insight into Omani life. Apart from trying the local food, it was great to see the city come to life at night. Hajer is an excellent guide, she is very professional, easy to talk with and explained daily life, the country's history and how it is progressing, all in a conversational manner, it felt like talking with a friend. Any questions I had were answered easily. Do yourself a favour and spend some time with Hajer to learn about this wonderful country that is Oman! A Taste of Muscat

Our trip to Jebel Al Aldhar was fantastic, thanks to our amazing tour guide and driver, Hajer! She was not only skilled and safe on the road, but also fun and engaging throughout the journey. Her friendly and accommodating nature made the experience even more enjoyable, and she shared great insights about the region.

We could not have started our Oman tour in a better way: Having Hajer as a guide, starting the day with the best Karak tea ever and than learning so much about Muscat, the Omani live, habits and thinking. We had good talks, laughter and got a lot of information. Although it has been Friday (holiday and mostly closed) Hajer organised a very interesting tour round Muscat. Most impressive: the way she is close to her country and culture. A lot to learn for us Germans! Thank you Hajer. We would recommend everyone who wants to become a real insight to Muscat to ask for Hajer as a guide. So good to Meet with locals!

We loved the tour with Hajer. Our 11yr old boys also enjoyed it. Hajer was super relaxed, kind and fun! She showed us great viewing spots, guided us through the souq and we walked around the opera house at sunset. We tasted some very nice Omani treats and ended with a local bbq spot. It was a lovely, easy and beatiful afternoon. Shukran Hajer!!Perfectly relaxed tour!

Had an interesting day visiting the sites in Muscat including the Grand Mosque, Opera House and market. Hajer picked us up and dropped us back to the airport and was lovely. Hajer was friendly and obviously proud of her country and made an effort to ensure we had a good time. Only small negative was Hajers driving - it could be erratic and well exceeded the speed limit at times. Would definitely recommend. Good day in Muscat

It was a pleasure spending the evening tour with Hajer and seeing and tasting Muscat from a new perspective. Ir wasn’t my first visit to Muscat but Hajer still showed me new places I hadn’t seen before.We also had some very tasty street food. It was an easygoing tour and I would definitely book another trip with Hajer whenever I come back to Muscat. Evening city tour off the beaten track

I was delighted to meet Hajer who I had been messaging on the app. She is extremely responsive and helpful even before meeting her! She arrived in a very comfortable 4 x 4 which she drove with great confidence and care all over the city. She is incredibly proud of her country and its people and shared so much of her knowledge with me, including sampling three treats which reflect street food in the city. Seeing Muscat lit up in the dark was a real treat and created a very different atmosphere to what can be experienced during the day, I highly recommend it. There were so many highlights, the beautiful mosque with the golden domes, the Opera House with its glistening white marble and the Sultan’s Palace. However, for me, meeting such an engaging young woman was a highlight, I felt as if I had known her for years such was her warmth and kindness.A Fabulous Evening in Muscat

Hajer did an amazing job taking us around Oman. She picked us up in a nice/clean vehicle. She took us to the main attractions, tea house, sweet shop and helped us have an easy shopping experience at the souk. She responded to our messages in a timely order. I can’t recommend her enough!!Best tour in Oman

I was on a solo day trip to Oman and booked Hajer to show me around Muscat. Hajer picked me up from the airport and we set off on the adventure. She was very friendly, very fun and most of all very passionate and knowledgeable about her home country. The best way I can describe my experience, was like I travelled and caught up with a friend - we grabbed a coffee from one of her favourite spots, walked through the Mutrah Souq, drove through the mountainous areas, saw the palace, opera house, multiple beaches, the gorgeous resort area etc. I feel there was no area we didn’t explore. Hajer then took me to a very local restaurant where we ate a late Omani lunch followed by a stop to try some locally made halwa (sweet) and coffee. As the tour ended, Hajer dropped me back off at the airport. Overall, it was a fantastic day and I recommend the tour with Hajer. If you have a longer trip, this would also be a great way to see everything at a high level to get your bearings and then feel comfortable to explore on your own, knowing where everything is. Fun day of exploring

We booked Hajer from 3-8pm and really enjoyed the hours in Muscat area. Asking her for a local experience she showed us the nicest viewpoints, great ice cream, coffee&tea, an art exhibition, the opera house, souq at night and we ended at a local smoky BBQ. She picked us up from the hotel and droped us there again. All in all it was a great evening and we would book again anytime. Hajer is very welcoming, we really appreciated, thank you!A real local experience

We did a local village day trip with Hajer to al Alia village. We visited a fort on the way to the village which was very interesting with great views over the plains to Muscat. It took about 2 hours to get to the village through mountain valleys with great scenery along the way. At the village Hajer had arranged for a local guide (Saleem (?)) to take us through his village. There was a surprising bit of agriculture along the valley floor using channels for water and some clever techniques. We had a great walk and learnt a lot about local village life. Saleem then invited us to his home to meet his family - his Mum had prepared a feast and we sat around having a fun chat. - a wonderful experience. Along the way Hajer would take photos and vids of us. Hajer put together a great day trip which exceeded our expectations. Later she sent us both photos and video montages of our day out - these were excellent and very professional. I highly recommend Hajer as a guide who does the little things that make your day more special,Excellent local village trip with Hajer

We only had one day and night in Oman, so decided to hire Hajer for a personal tour that included the sights we most wanted to see. She was very helpful in creating a custom itinerary that met our needs, with great recommendations for places to add based on our interests. We visited the Grand Mosque, then Misfat Al Abriyyin, then Nizwa. All were incredible and Hajer provided lots of information while making sure we saw the coolest parts of each stop. It was definitely the best way to make the most of our short time in Oman. I highly recommend her tours! It was easy to meet up at the airport and all the food and beverages included were excellent. Her vehicle was clean and comfortable as well.Incredible custom tour

The evening tour with Hajer is a perfect first introduction to Muscat. She knows her way around the city very very well en can show you all the nice spots. She is open for every question about Oman, it's culture en it's traditions. Moreover, she let us taste some of the typical foods and drinks, one of which became our new favourite throughout our entire trip. She takes you to very local places and leads you off the beaten path. Het drive is very comfortable. Would recommend, especially on one of the first days of your journey!Perfect first glimpse of Muscat

We booked Hajer for a city tour of Muscat, and she picked us up directly from our hotel in a comfortable tour vehicle. The tour included a delicious local lunch and some traditional tea, which added a nice authentic touch. While we enjoyed the experience, the tour could have been outstanding if Hajer had shared more insights into daily life in Muscat and provided additional historical context about the city. Overall, it was a pleasant tour, and we ended up booking Hajer again for a full-day trip to Jebel Shams. Though it involved a lot of driving, Hajer’s warm personality made the day enjoyable.Great Tour with Local Charm

She gave the tour a personal touch with stories and insights that brought life in Muscat to a whole new level for us. Thank you, Hajer, for giving us such a memorable evening in the city!A magical evening with Hajer

My friends and I attended a conference in Muscat and made a little time to sightsee. I had contacted Hajer some months prior and booked the Night tour of Muscat and the Mountain Village tour the following day. Hajer accommodated our dates and times, and also arrange pickup and airport transfer. Highlights: 1. Wonderful tour host - approachable, knowledgeable and (most important) a fan of her city and her country, she imparted a sense of warmth and pride in Muscat that we enjoyed. She brought us to have excellent saffron tea, local barbecue and halwa on the night tour, and helped us find various shopping items on the night tour. 2. Teaching us about frankincense for fragrance and culinary purposes, showing us various frankincense at the souk and teaching us about traditional clothing. 3. The Fort city of Nakal and the mountain village of Al Alia - it was wonderful for us to experience the warmth and hospitality of Omanis and the simple and delicious food 4. Al Hajar mountain range - spectacular. Breathtaking views of tall mountains, serenity and large beautiful clouds on the way to Al Alia. Great roads, smooth driving, you dont even sense the elevation much 5. Village hike - though we were not quite prepared, Hajer and her co-host Salim made sure that the trail walk/hike was suitable for us and helped us out along the way. We walked through farms and plantations and marveled at the natural beauty around us. 6. Picnic on the mountains - this was possibly the best part - exceptional hospitality, home-cooked food, fruit and coffee, rich variety of local dates and unique local honey, especially with the company of Salim's brothers. No negatives at all. Overall - these trips exceeded all expectations and we had an amazing time with Hajer. Highly recommended. A Taster of Oman leaves us wanting more

Our tour of Muscat was an incredible experience, thanks to Hajer. She not only guided us through the city’s main attractions, such as the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque and the Mutrah Souq, but also shared her own favorite sites, views, and cultural experiences. We were particularly impressed with the Royal Opera House’s music library, where you can watch and listen to a vast collection of musical performances through headsets. Hajer also provided excellent recommendations for restaurants and activities. The tour was both informative and personalized. Highly recommended!Personalized and Insightful Muscat tour

We had a really good time touring Muscat with Hajer. She gave us an excellent overview of the city, as well as plenty of helpful advice prior to and after the tour. That helped us a lot navigating Muscat and Oman. She took us to both the big sights, in addition to some hidden gems for lunch and dessert. Wonderful overview of Muscat

We had a wonderful day in Muscat with Hajer. We whizzed around the main attractions like the extraordinary mosque and wonderful palace. We had been to the souk the day before so Hajer changed plans and customised our tour to include the museum. We saw some magnificent beaches though it really was too hot to do much outside. We feel we learnt a great deal about Oman and Hajer was open and friendly and gave us a good insight into contemporary life in that lovely city.Great day in Muscat

Me and my husband had a private Muscat city tour with Hajer for 5hours. Our guide took us from our hotel with her stylish and well air conditioned car and drove us around the city, stopping in all major sightseeing spots. We are kind of gastro travellers, so we really enjoyed being taken to some spots for different local dishes and drinks. Hajer also addapted our tour to my husband's desperate need for a shisha :) she took us to a shisha bar and it was absolutely the best shisha we had in Oman. Relaxing at the bar, we learned a lot not only about Muscat, but also about Salalah and Oman on the whole. What is more, Hajer has beautiful and strong personality!Loved our tine with Hajer!

Hajer is a GREAT guide! She showed us all of the highlights and had plenty of info and personal background to add to everything we saw. We really liked that she showed us the tea and street food scenes in Muscat in addition to the sights. Hajer is engaging, informed, very open and friendly--she has all of the qualities of a great local guide and it's no surprise that she has so many high ratings here. Book her if you visit Muscat! We will again when we return.A Superb Four Hour Tour!

Hajer was the perfect guide for two rather jet lagged travellers with one evening in Muscat to fill. The tour gave us a great idea of the city and the food stops were a highlight. And then, delivering the left sunglasses of one of the travellers (nameless) to the airport was service above and beyond excellent!Muscat evening
