Amazing Tour of Nizwa, Jebel Shams and Misfah Al Arbyeen
The drive to Jebel Shams and the lookout were breathtaking. Also immensely enjoyed Misfah Al Arbyeenas well as Nizwa fort + souq Our guides were great. They were very kind and accommodating to our family. Thoroughly worthwhile experience. Would definitely use the services of Oman Landscape Tours in the future.
Amazing Guided Tour to Nizwa, market, fort, Al Hamra, Jebel Shams
Our tour guide Khalil Aljabri picked us up from the hotel to drive to Nizwa. There he showed us the local market, we could taste all the delicious foods, talked to locals and had a coffee with them. Later we went to Fort Nizwa which was very interesting to see as well it offered nice views over the city. Afterwoods we went to Al Hamra village on top of the mountain, where we had amazing views in that ancient village. After some driving we reached the top of Jebel Shams (Grand Canyon) which was really impressive. Also our tour guide prepared fresh coffee for us and served some fresh fruits, which we really appreciated and enjoyed. Its a must to do this tour and we recommend strongly to do it with Mr. Khalil Aljabri, he was very kind and friendly and explained us all we wanted to know about oman with pleasure. We had a great time and an uforgetable experience thanks to him.
