Questions

Before you message

How much does a private tour cost?

Tours start at USD 200. The final price depends on the tour, on whether you need a car or a bus, and on the language. Send your dates and group size on WhatsApp for a quote.

Where do you pick us up?

Wherever you are staying. Issam picks up anywhere.

How long are the tours?

Muscat is a half day (8:00 to 12:00) or a full day (8:00 to 15:00). Wadi Shab takes about 6 hours, Nizwa and the Wahiba Sands about 8. Tours can be combined into a trip of several days.

Which languages do you guide in?

Twelve: Arabic, English, German, Russian, Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, Catalan, Chinese, Hindi and Balochi. One tour can mix two languages, so mixed groups are welcome.

How big can the group be?

Every tour is private, for 1 to 45 travelers. Small groups travel by car and larger groups by bus.

How do we book and pay?

Message on WhatsApp or send the request form. A deposit confirms your date. You can pay by card, cash, online, or by bank transfer as long as the money arrives before the tour.

What is the cancellation policy?

There is no refund after confirmation, unless the tour cannot be delivered because of a failure on our side. If bad weather or a flooded wadi stops a tour, you get an alternative, or a refund if there is none.

How far ahead should we book?

Booking is flexible. Message as early as you can, and last-minute requests are welcome too.

Can you help us book hotels?

Yes.

Does it rain in Oman?

Yes, it does. If the weather closes a route, Issam plans an alternative.

Can we pay by card in Oman?

In most places, yes. Taxis are the exception, so carry some cash.
