Nizwa Heritage & Jebel Shams Canyon – Private Tour from Muscat

I had a great day, travelling alone. Mohammed was an excellent guide, very informative. We left Muscat at 7am and arrived in Nizwa in time to catch the end of the Friday goat market - well worth seeing. The souq was interesting and helpful to have a guide then sufficient time to look round the fort. The drive to the canyon view point is spectacular as is the canyon, amazing views. The village of Al Hamra is well worth visiting, more beautiful views and interesting fauna and irrigation system. Lunch was excellent at a local restaurant, reasonably priced. Altogether an excellent day, we were out for 11 hours.

We went on a wonderful trip to Nizwa and Jebel Shams with our perfect guide Said Al kiyumi. Said told us a lot of interesting information on our way and during sightseeing. Also he took some great pictures of us. We didn't rush through sights but rather comfortably explored the area. This full day trip is totally worth the money as the nature and the historical heritage are spectacular. It is hard to visit Jebel Shams on your own so it is better to go with an experienced driver and a prepared car for a safe ride. Thank you Said Al kiyumi and Oman Sharing Tours for such pleasant experience!

It was an amazing experience. Special thanks to our Guide Shakir who took us to get us a view of cloudy (snow like) mountains at Jabel Shams , clear waters at Wadi Bani Khalid, Dolphins and Turtles at the Arabian sea , Heritage everywhere , Dunes at the Desert , Mouthwatering delicacies ,people as sweet like the Omani Dates and their coffee!!!

One of our best experience at Oman. Mr. Shakir was more a friend and a thorough professional. We learnt a lot about the history and cultural heritage throughout our journey. A must visit for any tourist at Muscat!

Our experience with the Nizwa Heritage & Jebel Shams Canyon Private Tour from Muscat was absolutely fantastic, largely thanks to our exceptional guide, Badar. He made this day unforgettable with his deep knowledge of Oman’s history, culture, and stunning landscapes. ​Badar was not only highly professional and organized but also incredibly warm and attentive to our needs. His explanations were clear and engaging, and he showed us sides of the country we never would have discovered on our own. We highly recommend this excursion—and above all, be sure to ask for Badar for a truly enriching and enjoyable experience!

An exceptional experience in Oman – thank you so much! We spent an absolutely unforgettable day in Nizwa, Al Hamra and Jebel Shams thanks to our guide Badar. Everything was perfectly organized, fluid and exciting from start to finish. We recommend this 100% guide to anyone who wants to discover Oman in an authentic, humane and unforgettable way. Thank you again for this wonderful day — it was clearly one of the best moments of our trip!

Ali was an excellent guide. He was punctual, knowledgeable and professional. He took good care of us throughout the trip.

Said Al Kiyumi texted the day before to introduce himself. He arrived promptly in a clean, luxurious, air conditioned car, well stocked with bottled water. On our way to Nizwa he gave us the historical details about the fort and soqu. He’s well spoken, witty and with a good sense of humor. He anticipated our needs and ensured we saw all the sights ; never feeling rushed. We look forward to exploring more of Oman with him. Rosa the booking rep was very helpful and knowledgeable about the trips. Mr. Mohamed, the owner of Oman Sharing Tour also called us to make sure we were pleased with the arrangement and services provided.

Excellent tour! Highly recommend. Tour lasted about ten hours and the guide was very generous with his time and stories.

It was an amazing day with my guide Mr. Said Al kiyumi, who is knowledgeable, caring and has a sense of humor. Will definitely recommend this trip to my friends.
