Visiting a city for the first time, we always try to do a privite city tour first. It is the fastest way to learn more about the local culture. This tour exceeded our expectations. The tour guide was open and willing to answer all our questions. The private car was also very comfotable. Because we allready visited the souq, he showed us the local fish & vegetables market instead, as wel the other city highlights. The Grand Mosques was astonishing. Although we visited the biggest mosque in the world in Abu Dhabi and several other beautfull mosques in Egypt, Spain and Istanbul, the one in Oman is the most exceptional one. They all have their history and are beautifull, but the one in Muscat is a must see. The opera house is also a must. However, you have buy a ticket to get in. Once inside you will have a dedicated guide, who tells you all about the building and unbelievable technical innovationns in the big hall and its stage. Really a must. Our tour gude also gave some tips for our tour the next 7 days. A well appreciated free consultancy, A reason to come back another year and book a private tour again.Our tour guide was Saif Al Brashdi. He's a really nice and friendly person and an excellent guide who provided us with additional interesting, helpful information and local insights. Shukran Saif. Rachel and Roberto.
