    We had been told that Oman is a wonderful destination. Boy Is that ever an understatement! While we had to cut our trip short, the time we spent there was just fantastic. The memories we made there will last a lifetime. The incredibly beautiful Grand Mosque and impressive Royal Opera in Muscat were memorable. Wadi Shab was a unique blend of arid desert cliffs and boulders with the most amazing swimming environment. The coast near Sur and Ras al Hadd is picturesque. The dunes of Wahiba Sands were an incredible adventure particularly at sunset. Lastly the Oman Through Ages museum is a true treasure and Omanis can be immensely proud of this world-class facility. All of our experiences were heightened by our guide Aziz. He is super knowledgeable, kind and courteous and really goes out of his way to make his clients happy. Being with him was like having a good friend show you around his favorite places. Thank you, Aziz!!!! Hope to meet you again someday. And thank you GidOman for having him on your staff.

    This trip was really good from the very beginning until the end. The company contacted us first from this website and then directly by WhatsApp with updated information on time. We had very good drivers, always coming punctually and driving safely. They were really polite as well. Our guide tour and driver Aziz was absolutely great. He gave very good explanations to us, we could have very good discussions with him, and thanks to him we learnt really deeply how is the omaní culture. He was really helpful whenever it was needed. Specially with my girlfriend that has fear to highs. He was always open to changes in the schedules, if needed. He was very professional and respectful. Anytime he was offering cold water to us. The hotels were really good and the meals were delicious. Oman is a wonderful country and we will come back again. Thank you for doing our holidays one of the best traveling experiences. We highly recommend this tour. :)

    The tour was absolutely wonderful! Our guide, Ilya, was incredibly knowledgeable about the local traditions and history of Oman. He also had a great sense of humor and was very friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable. After this week, the images of the vast, untouched desert and the contrasting oasis will forever remain in my heart. The trip to the Jebel Akhdar mountains was particularly memorable—it was such a vibrant and picturesque place that I wish I could have stayed there for a couple more days. Perhaps next season, I’ll do just that! Thank you so much, GIdoman, for organizing one of the most unforgettable vacations of my life. I am truly grateful for the effort and care you put into making this trip so special. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an authentic and enriching experience in Oman. A deep bow to you for creating such lasting memories!

    This tour was an incredible journey through Oman, showcasing the country’s rich culture and breathtaking landscapes. From the very beginning, the organization was flawless, and the prompt and friendly communication made planning easy. The GidOman team, one of the best travel companies in the region, took care of every detail—from airport transfers to introducing us to our guide. Our guide, Abdullah, was exceptional. He was not only a professional and punctual, but he also went above and beyond to tailor the experience to our interests. Despite the unpredictable weather, Abdullah’s expertise and adaptability allowed us to see nearly everything on the itinerary. His warm nature and deep knowledge of Oman’s history and culture made the trip both informative and enjoyable. The rooms perfectly blended modern luxury with authentic historical heritage, offering comfort and unique experiences. The fact that most meals were included in the tour added tremendous value. Oman itself is an amazing destination, with its rugged mountains, serene Wadi areas, and vibrant culture. The locals were incredibly welcoming, making the journey even more memorable. I highly recommend GidOman to anyone looking to explore Oman. Their attention to detail, exceptional guides like Abdullah, and commitment to creating unforgettable experiences truly set them apart. Whether you are an experienced traveler or a first-timer, GidOman will exceed your expectations!

    Exploring Oman with Gidoman Tours was an incredible experience! Everything was perfectly organized, making the trip stress-free and enjoyable from start to finish. We visited stunning landmarks like the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque and the lively Mutrah Souq, and even got to experience the breathtaking Wahiba Sands desert. The balance of adventure, culture, and relaxation was just right. Our guide was amazing—knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing Oman’s rich history and traditions. The entire team went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable trip. If you’re planning to visit Oman, I highly recommend Gidoman Tours. They’ll make sure you have an unforgettable journey!

    We had an unforgettable private tour of Oman, all thanks to GidOman and our exceptional guide, Aziz. Not only did he show us the major highlights of Northern Oman, but he also shared deep insights into the country’s rich culture and the daily lives of the Omani people. Some of the standout moments for us included visiting the majestic Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Muscat, hiking and swimming through the stunning Wadi Shab. A special mention to Aziz for personally guiding us during both the hike and the swim—something we noticed not all guides do. Other highlights were driving across the breathtaking dunes of the Sharqiya Sands, followed by an exhilarating camel ride, exploring the historical Nizwa Fort and Castle, and soaking in the dramatic views and mountain walks in Jabal Akhdar. If you're planning a trip to Oman, I highly recommend booking with GidOman, especially with Aziz as your guide. His professionalism and local knowledge made all the difference in creating a truly memorable experience.

    What an excellent way to see not just Muscat, but also the incredibly interesting heritage and geography of Oman. Our guide/driver Khalil was excellent in all respects, speaking and conversing in excellent English, sharing his extensive knowledge of Oman and its history, and readily able to answer all our many questions, regardless of topic. The standard of accommodation was first class, but varied from modern luxury hotels in Muscat, to most interesting heritage hotels and resorts/camps in the mountains and desert. Our 8 day tour had a well thought out and executed itinerary, with our luxury 4WD (a must in the desert, and in mountains). Khalil accommodated our tour interests and priorities. We found Oman to be our preferred Middle East experience, with not just extensive modern high standard infrastructure, but also a lot of heritage history and villages, and a very varied geography, of rugged mountain ranges, wadis and coast line. The local Omani people were always very friendly and helpful.

    The tour was well organised, with a good guide that adapted to our needs and nice overnight stays. Special mention to the desert overnight stay, the location was great and so was the food! I was also very happy with the fact that most meals were included. I would have appreciated to have a detailed itinerary with me as there were some activities that were not mentioned in the plan originally shared and for which I did not have the level of fitness required (e.g. 3 hour walk in the mountains, as I have fear of heights I would have been grateful to discuss this in advance). Overall I am satisfied with the tour, Oman is a beautiful country and with this tour I feel that I managed to see a lot.
