Personalized city tours with local hosts.
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.
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.
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.
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.
