Absolutely fantastic! You must personally ask for Abu - Salim if your hire the company; he is the best tour guide ever. He picked us up from our hotel and prioritized our itinerary by what we wanted to see. We learned so much in the time we spent on our tour. We saw so much in four hours. We will definitely be back in Oman next year & we will definitely request Abu Salim again.
