Muscat Tours in Winter

This was a great trip, and I would recommend it. The hotels were all fine, the one night camping less so - very cold and the set-up was VERY basic (a kilometer away from a luxury resort!) - but the night sky in the desert was amazing. The trip notes are not totally accurate/informative though - there is a lot more travelling than they suggest and a lot of it is in 4-wheel drive vehicles over rough ground. If you don't like heights, beware! Be prepared for squat toilets in quite a lot of places :-/ All in all it was a good trip, well managed and very interesting.

Oman was beautiful. The guide Mashal and the driver Jabir were outstanding. Great group of fellow travellers. The hotels were amazing by Explore standards and although the camping night was very basic it was really an essential part of the experience. I highly recommend the trip to people looking for a genuine experience. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

This was a wonderful trip. Muscat is a beautiful city with some amazing buildings to visit. Outside of the city the scenery is stunning with a beautiful coastline, soaring mountains and endless deserts. Our guide, Mashal, and all our drivers were friendly, helpful and fun.

My week in Oman was such a special experience. Having travelled there without much knowledge of the country, I was absolutely blown away with the beauty and adventure it has to offer. This was my first trip with Exodus and I was really impressed with the level of communication in the lead up to the trip. I felt secure and confident with the arrangements and had clarity with the itinerary and instructions throughout. The agenda for the week was jam-packed but it meant that we got to see SO much while we were there. It's not a trip for someone looking to unwind and relax as there is very little time for that, but if you're looking for amazing scenery, interesting experiences and fun memories, then this one is for you!

I have made these comments to be helpful - I don't expect them to appear on the website and I don't want them to detract from what was a great holiday. We had a lovely group - all experienced Explore customers, and everything worked well. Oman was a wonderful destination

This was a really good tour - the leader and drivers were great. My highlights were the the Sultan Quaboos Grand Mosque, the coastal town of Sur, the goat auction in Nizwa and the drives through the desert and mountains. However, disappointingly there was not an opportunity to hike and swim through a wadi. I think this should be an option during the tour - me and my friend booked a day trip to wadi shab after the tour ended and it was brilliant.
