I loved my tour of Nizwa and the surrounding mountains. Yasser was an excellent guide who ensured everything went off without a hitch. We left Muscat promptly at 6 am and got to Nizwa in time to catch some of the livestock market. Truly a once in a lifetime experience. The nearby mountains were equally as interesting. The entire time, Yasser answered all my questions about the history and people of Oman and made sure I had all of the right experiences. He was top notch.

Yasser is a wonderful extremely knowledgeable guide. He enjoys sharing the wonders of Oman with his guests. Yasser knows practically every person we came in contact with. Moreover, he shares the life of Oman with his guests so they feel like family and not outsiders. Yasser is an excellent manager of time and is fully capable of changing the itinerary to match the needs or desires of his guests

Yasser was an incredibly informative guide. He made our tour to Nizwa and our day in Muscat a very informative and worthwhile trip. He had a very deep knowledge of Oman and a good sense of humor. We had a lot of fun. I would recommend any tour that he leads.
