I was picked at my hotel in muscat by Said who was the most hospitable human being and let alone a really cool dude. He took me first to visit the sultan quboos mosque, I was in oman in july which was very hot but I had all sights to myself which was a plus, then the opera house we visited, quram beach, then walked along the corniche, tried omani halwa, then proceeded to muttrah souq, where there are many souvenirs to buy, he hiked the muttrah fort with me , this is a must, which has amazing views of the city, I was then driven to see old muscat where Said showed me an amazing view from the top and then the sultans colorful palace with all the surrounding govt buildings. We then went for lunch at a DELICIOUS fish restaurant with grilled fish, hummus, breD, and rice. Said showed me an amazing day in muscat. I had 3 other excursions around oman with him. T b e price was very reasonable, book ALL your tours direct with him You will not regret. He said "come to oman as a tourist and leave as a friend" true statement! WhatsApp contact is 96899714320
