Experience the best of
Oman with Withlocals

"Hajer is an exceptional local who took us to a local street food area that we would never have found or even thought about trying, the food was amazing, then off to a local Syrian outlet for the best Falafel ever. After the tour Hajer recomended a locals fish retaurant near the Souk that was tasty and such good value for money. Hajer is a great local and we are looking forward to having more adventures with her when we return to Muscat"

"Hajer picked us up from the hotel and provided a fantastic tour of Muscat passing on het vast knowledge of the city. We visited all the main places of interest, Grand Mosque, Fish Market and Souk, Sultans Palace, Opera House, Hajer even took us into a Mall to find some shops. At the end of the tour we wanted some lunch, so Hajer took us to a locals Turkish fish restaurant, helped us order and joined us for lunch. Nothing was too much trouble for Hajer. A fantastic day with a fantastic local lady "

"Great half day city tour with Alwood in a comfortable car. We enjoyed seeing Muscat with her and she was accommodating in adapting tour to our family’s needs. So helpful to have her assistance in the souk to help on negotiating better prices! She even pointed out some turtles and big fish from the Corniche! "

"Yousuf was really flexible, his car was super clean and he did adapt on everything we wanted to see. On top, Yousuf is one of the nicest and kindest person we met during our holiday here, he shared his culture and knowledges with us, always nice but also give you space if needed. That day was the highlight of our trip and he is the reason why. Thanks for everything you shared with us, beauty is in places but also in people."

"Great knowledge and expertise. Friendly and nice slow pace not rushed at all. Fascinating chatting about architecture, history, food and culture. No pre rehearsed spiel just telling us about things that interested us. Highly recommend "

"We enjoyed the company of Alwaad during our Muscat tour. She was knowledgeable, easy going and very friendly person. Alwwad is super organized and our experience was that what we saw and what she said was in the wright order. Because we met her our first day she recommended some things to to. That's why we rented a car to go to see some nature in the mountains. She even got us a recepie of halva. Thank you Alwaad to spend a family friday with us. "

"We went to Wadi Shab with Alwaad. It's was amazing ! Nature is very well preserved, it's gorgeous. It's quiet and peacful. Alwaad is lovely, kind and funny. She is very outgoing. We felt like we were part of her family. Thanks to her, we were able to really discover Omani culture. She is very attentive and adapts to our pace and needs. She speaks English very well and her driving is perfect! We had a wonderful day with her, we didn't notice the time passing. We recommend it 100%."

"Alwaad and Ahmed were absolutely exceptional as our tour guides during our first visit to Oman. From the very beginning, they demonstrated incredible flexibility, tailoring the itinerary to suit our interests and adjusting the time spent at each location. This was especially appreciated since I was traveling with teenage boys who have shorter attention spans, and they made sure the experience was engaging for everyone. Their professionalism and attention to detail stood out. We were pleasantly surprised by the comfort and cleanliness of their vehicle, which made the journey between destinations relaxing and enjoyable. Beyond that, their knowledge of Oman’s history, culture, and hidden gems added so much depth to our trip, turning every stop into a memorable experience. If you’re planning a visit to Oman, I cannot recommend Alwaad and Ahmed highly enough. Their warmth, adaptability, and commitment to creating a personalized experience truly set them apart. Booking a tour with them is the perfect way to discover the beauty of Oman with confidence and ease."

"Amazing tour with Yousef. He's very nice and accommodating gentleman, quite knowledgeable and very easy to get along with. Highly recommended"

"Our daytrip to Jabal Al Akhdar has been an unforgettable experience. The communication was completely reailable and easy going. Yousuf responded always very fast to any questions I had in advanced. He picked us up in the hotel punctually in the morning in his new, spotless clean car. He drives very good, smooth. He knows much about culture, history and the country itselfs. We could ask him everything and the answers are very informative. His English is perfect and he is empathic, friendly, discret, warm-hearted and humorous. He surprised us on our way with a stop in his house and where met his parents. He served us lunch and dates (from there own farm) in the garden there. An unforgettable experience and we felt very honoured. We asked him where to buy a colored tradionell abaya, because we wanted one for a visit in the mosque. He drove us to a store and a tailor where we choosed beautiful fabrics/materials. The tailor took our measurements and Yousuf deposited our abayas to the hotel two days later. They were beautiful and the price was very, very reasonable. After that our drive to Jebel Al Akhdar continuied. The view and all the hotspots in the mountain took our breath away! We drove from one spot to another, walked around as long as we wanted. We were always asked what we wanted to do or see. He made recommendations and showed us the most beautiful spots. A sidenote – being an entire day on its way, we stopped at beautiful 5-Star-hotels where we just were allowed from the management to walk in and enjoy the view from there terrasses, balcony, taking pictures and above all using their spotless clean bathroom without consuming anything. Thank you so much for everything. Claudia & Anna"
