4.City Tour of Grand Mosque, Old Souqs, Museum, & Fort

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 5 reviews · 4h 30m

You’ll spend 4.5 hours with an English-speaking guide and private vehicle, visiting Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, Muttrah’s fish market and souq, the Portuguese forts, Al Alam Palace, and Bait Al Zubair Museum. Guides such as Abdullah, Abdul, and Sharaf have been praised for friendly service, though the amount of cultural detail may vary.

“I was surprised when the tour guide (Sharaf) and the driver picked me up because this is a private tour and I am the only guest. They customized everything according to my preference and manage the timing to suit me the best. The price of the tour is the same as Big Bus. I would strongly recommend this company to any tourists. I think the fact that they are new in the market makes them pay more attention to the customers now.”
