What a pleasure to visit Muscat with Yasser! He is knowledgeable, flexible and a truly kind person. His introduction and patient explanations of the history and culture of Oman opened our hearts and minds, making our stay even more memorable. I highly recommend him for both short and multi-day tours.

We only had 1.5 days in Muscat, and Yasser did a great job showing us around the highlights. He was also very flexible when we had a schedule change and helped us learn how special and wonderful Oman is. I highly recommend Yasser.

Visiting the Grand Mosque is a must as well as the National Museum in Muscat. Yasser made this a most enjoyable day with his knowledge of the city. He does not go with you in the market unless you ask, but everyone should know how to bargain.

We did a 4 hour tour around Muscat with Yasser. He was a great knowledgeable guide with a witty sense of humour. He picked us up at our hotel and dropped us at the airport. I would highly recommend him .
