I'm really happy that I choose this company because these 2 days of trips (Forts trip and Grand Canyon of Oman) were incredible. It was one of my best vacations ever and especially I must say THANK YOU to their guide Mr. Khalfan because he was very professional, careful, always focusing on details and thinking about to make the trip more interesting for me. He told me also lots of things about the history of the country, its culture, traditions etc. Thanks to him I enjoyed these 2 days so much and I'll definitely come back to Oman and would like to book another trips guided by him. I highly recommend this company to the others.

We took a full day dhow cruise through the Musandam Fjords as part of a group followed by an overnight on the luxury Dhow Rubba. The owner takes such pride in his business as well as his dhow. The staff were equally attentive striking the perfect balance between giving us lots of space and privacy as well as being on hand. The food on board was exceptional, without doubt the best food that we have had on such excursions. Due to Covid, we were the only family on Rubba which made it even more special, but definitely worth the upgrade. We'd definitely recommend and will hopefully return with visitors shortly.

Unfortunately our itinerary was changed due to situations . Whilst having cruised on the ship before we were a little disappointed at how tired the ship appeared in the cabins and bathroom. Staff were very obliging in the restaurants, bars and cabins But the organisation at the pier was something to be desired , also when we docked in some locations we were asked to pay for shuttle buses which did not seem fair .
