Oman · FOOD
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 3 food experiences worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Spend 150 minutes tasting Omani favorites with Hisham Tours in a group of up to six. Guides such as Hisham and Yousef explain family food traditions, take you between five local stops, and serve Shuwa, halwa, Zanzibar snacks, Omani bread, spiced tea, and mishkak. Hotel pickup and vegetarian substitutions are available.
“Was a cool and authentic experience into omani cuisine and culture”
See Salalah’s Sultan Qaboos Mosque, shop for frankincense at Haffa Souq, walk among coconut and banana trees, taste Omani halwa, and finish at Salalah Grand Mall. An Omani guide such as Mohamed Ali, Salim, or Majid may lead the tour, with hotel pickup, bottled water, and multilingual support included.
“Salim did an amazing guide. He was very patient and gave great advice and wonderful recommendations for spots to go to in the tour. He really gave extra effort to teach us about Oman and guarantee the best tour possible. Truly second to none”
Travel from Muscat to Bahla and Jebel Shams with a private guide, stopping for Omani breakfast, fort photos, Grand Canyon views, and lunch in an Omani family home. Watch chicken cook on hot rocks, eat on the floor, taste halwa, and finish with coffee. Guide Salim may lead the day, subject to availability.
“We did 3 tours: Mountain food, Jabal Akhdar trek and Desert tour. We thoroughly enjoyed the presence of Salim and his knowlegde. All 3 tours had something special, but our favourite one was the Desert one, it was our first contact with tbe desert and we loved it. Great way to learn about the Omani culture through the 3 tours.”
Pick a coastline, a canyon or a fort.
