Experience the best of
Muscat with Withlocals

"I was on a solo day trip to Oman and booked Hajer to show me around Muscat. Hajer picked me up from the airport and we set off on the adventure. She was very friendly, very fun and most of all very passionate and knowledgeable about her home country. The best way I can describe my experience, was like I travelled and caught up with a friend - we grabbed a coffee from one of her favourite spots, walked through the Mutrah Souq, drove through the mountainous areas, saw the palace, opera house, multiple beaches, the gorgeous resort area etc. I feel there was no area we didn’t explore. Hajer then took me to a very local restaurant where we ate a late Omani lunch followed by a stop to try some locally made halwa (sweet) and coffee. As the tour ended, Hajer dropped me back off at the airport. Overall, it was a fantastic day and I recommend the tour with Hajer. If you have a longer trip, this would also be a great way to see everything at a high level to get your bearings and then feel comfortable to explore on your own, knowing where everything is. "

"Hajar was a wonderful guide to Muscat. We saw all the usual spots, but we also saw behind the scenes spots that only a local would know about. I can't recommend Hajar highly enough, she's a fantastic guide. "

"We had a wonderful day in Muscat with Nasser as our guide. He picked us up from the hotel on time and showed us all the must-see spots in the city. Nasser impressed us with his extensive knowledge of Oman’s history and culture, which he shared in an engaging and insightful way. We particularly appreciated his friendly and helpful demeanor. In the souk, he not only helped us find the souvenirs we were looking for, like frankincense and scarves, but also negotiated great prices with the vendors. We highly recommend Nasser as a guide. Thank you Nasser! 😊"

"We visited Muscat by night with Hajer yesterday. The tour exceeded our expectations. Not only she showed us the city, but we had a chance to taste some local delights, a very nice touch. We are very happy she'll shows us another side of Oman tomorrow. Thank you!"

"We did the Wahiba Sands and Wadi Bani Khalid day trip together with Yousuf. He was very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. We had a great time and we can highly recommend Yousuf as a tour guide. It was a pleasure for us to meet him. Thanks Yousuf for a wonderful day."

"We had a really good time touring Muscat with Hajer. She gave us an excellent overview of the city, as well as plenty of helpful advice prior to and after the tour. That helped us a lot navigating Muscat and Oman. She took us to both the big sights, in addition to some hidden gems for lunch and dessert. "

"We really enjoyed the tour with Hajer! She planed an individual tour for us perfectly suited to our wishes. She showed us Muskat trough her eyes, we loved all the food and places she took us to. Would recommend 10/10"

"Me and my husband had a private Muscat city tour with Hajer for 5hours. Our guide took us from our hotel with her stylish and well air conditioned car and drove us around the city, stopping in all major sightseeing spots. We are kind of gastro travellers, so we really enjoyed being taken to some spots for different local dishes and drinks. Hajer also addapted our tour to my husband's desperate need for a shisha :) she took us to a shisha bar and it was absolutely the best shisha we had in Oman. Relaxing at the bar, we learned a lot not only about Muscat, but also about Salalah and Oman on the whole. What is more, Hajer has beautiful and strong personality!"

"Hajer is a GREAT guide! She showed us all of the highlights and had plenty of info and personal background to add to everything we saw. We really liked that she showed us the tea and street food scenes in Muscat in addition to the sights. Hajer is engaging, informed, very open and friendly--she has all of the qualities of a great local guide and it's no surprise that she has so many high ratings here. Book her if you visit Muscat! We will again when we return."

"Hajer is a fantastic Guide. Great communication from the outset. We arranged a bespoke tour with 4 of us travelling together. She met us at our hotel in her blue Maserati and drove our huge 4x4 hire car with great Omani skill! Hajer is passionate about Oman and shared local foodie insights which we would never have experienced without her guidance...and we LOVE our food! Ice Cream in the sweltering heat! Mendazi and Oman chips - yum! Iced coffee and teas! Karak Chai! Mishkak on the beach ... skewers of delicious marinated meat (lamb and chicken and quid) fresh from the BBQ. The next day we enjoyed Haneeth in her favourite restaurant ...the main ingredients include basmati rice, lamb and chicken and a combination of spices. Followed by Qahwa coffe and deliciously sweet Halwa (our fav were the fig and honey varieties). Apart from the amazing food on the first afternoon we visited the Royal Palace, Al Mirani Fort, Muttrah Souk and enjoyed sunset on the beach before enjoying our beach BBQ. The next morning we visited the Grand Mosque - AWE INSPIRING! - and the Royal Opera House before we had lunch followed by the traditional sweets. You can't go wrong with Hajer - highly recommended! Thank you for showing us the Muscat highlights!"
