Abu Khaled is the best. A five-star experience in every way. I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the moment our journey began; his professionalism; deep knowledge of Omani history and culture made the experience truly unforgettable. The best Tour ever

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

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!

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 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!

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

We took the five-hour city tour of Muscat with Yousuf, and it was an outstanding experience. Exploring this beautiful city with him was an absolute delight. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide—he was engaging, a fantastic storyteller, and had incredible insights into the history of Oman. Yousuf was also very flexible, happily accommodating changes to our itinerary. At every stop, he shared fascinating details that deepened our understanding of the country and its major attractions. In just a few hours, we learned so much! If you’re looking for an exceptional guide and an unforgettable tour, Yousuf is the perfect choice. We hope to return to Oman and explore the desert with him next time!An outstanding day in Muscat with Yousuf

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

Highly enjoyable and informative evening tour of Muscat with Yousaf Ali - exactly what we’d hoped for. Yousaf was great at reading his audience and delivering! We’d already seen a good bit of Muscat by day, and also a trip to Nizwa etc, so we were keen to hear about Oman/Muscat’s history and current affairs, mixed with getting a different view of old Muscat by night. Friendly, enthusiastic and informative, a great evening trip and would highly recommend Yousaf to others (in fact we already did to someone else staying in our hotel!)Memorable Muscat Evening Tour

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Moreover, she let us taste some of the typical foods and drinks, one of which became our new favourite throughout our entire trip.

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
