    Thank you Loay for such a wonderfully crafted tour experience - I think it's safe to say, we became friends by the end of it. Loay has the inside track behind all the major attractions, and is very knowledgeable about the history of Muscat. Not only does Loay know the quirks of the city, he is also very happy to tune the agenda to your liking and ensures you have a memorable experience. His perspectives are from a true local who is well travelled. I look forward to visiting Oman again in the near future, and will be reaching out to Loay to organise further excursions! Extra content: Please enjoy a photo of Loay making friends with a local cat at the incredible Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque!

    Our half day private tour of Muscat was absolutely amazing. Hisham was a fantastic guide, we got so much insight into Omani customs and culture, highlights were not just the tourist attractions of Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, Al Alam Palace and Muttrah souq but lots of other scenic stops and photo opportunities as well as stops for Omani bread and Karak tea, a visit to the fish market and as a personal favorite the Omani sweets shop where we had so many laughs with other customers Highly recommended and an absolute must for a first time visit to Oman

    The tour was wonderful and exactly as described (and a bit bettter), with a very warm and friendly guide in Hisham. It was great to see the sites with local knowledge, and Hisham (and Luoy who we met at the mosque) were generous in answering questions about local life and culture and beliefs. If you want a guided tour of the main Muscat hotspots, then I’d recommend this one.
