Hamid hat uns tolle Orte gezeigt. Er hat uns auch die Geschichte des Oman mit den verschiedenen Zeitabschnitten erklärt. Wir waren am Festival Platz mit den ursprünglichen Bauten und in einem Museum in Taqa. Wir waren im Gebirge bei den Wasserfällen.
Es war eine tolle Tour.

Really enjoyed the tour with Hamid. I was picked up on time and had enough time to explore all the places. Hamid was polite and never pushy. He was also very knowledgeable - I learned a lot of Omani history and culture from him. I was lucky as the weather was quite good when I visited these unique places, each of which got its own beauty and charm. The Taqah fort at the end of our trip was really nice. You can go to the very top and enjoy a panoramic view of the entire Taqah town and the far reaching Indian Ocean.
I would highly recommend a tour with Hamid. You are in for a wonderful journey!
