  • Get a great insight of the beauty of Oman

    highly recommended

    before, during and after the trip, the whole Al Maamari Team really cared about giving you the best experience. They know exactly what they do. The good tips and suggestions what to do and see during the short stay in Muscat, the impressive knowledge of our Tourguide Yasser while he drove us safety from one stay to the other. Even when the the time was too short to see all the beauty of Oman, we have been able to get a real taste of it. Hopefully I can come back one day and of course the Al Maamari Tours Team will be the first choice.

  • Perfect & friendly service

    We were in Oman for a fly & drive for 10 days and highly recommend the professional guidance and excellent & friendly service from Jasmin, Nasr & their colleagues. If we had a question they responded so fast. And all agreements we made they came through. If you’re looking for the perfect travel agency, don’t hesitate and call or email them now!

  • Excellent way to get a taste of Oman.

    Highly recommend the round trip tour of Oman with Al Maamari tours. From pre planning to organising departure times Jasmine did a great job with the program and nothing was forgotten which made for a seamless holiday. Our guide was Yasser, a fun and energetic tour guide who had a passion for showing us the sights of Oman - he added extra parts to the tour where he thought we might be interested. Hameed was an excellent driver who also provided the group great company. We spent time visiting the beach, villages, mountains and the desert. Accommodations provided were all nice and so were the restaurants they took us to. They really do make the effort to ensure you have a wonderful stay in Oman. I would not hesitate to book another vacation with Al Maamari. One big thankyou to the Al Maamari team for a wonderful holiday.

  • An unforgetable experience!!!

    We enjoyed evey moment of our stay, we intend to come back to visit the rest of the country.

    This time we stayed a week in Muscat our contact point was Mira she organised our daytrips to the beautiful sites of Oman. She has been very helpful and kind always responding immediately. Also the drivers were all very friendly and flexible ready to answer all our questions.

    All days were wonderful but to top it all

    Christmas day waching the sunset at the Omani desert was an unforgetable experience!!!

  • Oman entdecken

    Wir waren 10 Tage unterwegs mit Hamed und haben Oman per 4x4 und zu Fuss erkundet. Ob im Gran Canyon, auf den Bergen, in den Wadis oder der Wüste, wir wurden perfekt begleitet und betreut und haben viel über Oman erfahren. Herzlichen Dank!

  • Wonderful experience

    I booked a private tour for myself and my sister through the Travel Local website. I submitted a query with the dates we’d be travelling to Oman and I was put in contact with Jasmin. She was in touch on the same day and proposed ideas for an itinerary that could be put together. I was in contact back and forth until we’d put together a plan which we were happy with and went ahead and booked.

    Upon arrival to Oman we were greeted by one of the friendly team and taken to our hotel. Our main driver throughout our trip was Yasser who was extremely professional and friendly. He accommodated all of our needs and assisted us with any queries we had. We also had Nasser for our trip to Bimmah sinkhole and Wadi Shab. He was always very professional and friendly.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Oman. We were shown its true beauty and were so grateful to have booked through Al Maamari Tours. I would recommend them to anyone who is visiting and needs a local tour company/guide as they have years of experience and you will not regret booking with them.

    Thank you for making our trip a memorable one and for the hospitality shown by the team.

  • Wonderful Oman !

    Tour d’Oman très bien organisé, le professionnalisme et l’amabilité de l’organisation est exemplaire. Une expérience inoubliable !

  • Da non perdere se scegliete l’Oman.

    Non amo i tour di gruppo e quando ho deciso di andare in Oman mi sono rivolta ad Al Maamari che mi ha organizzato un tour perfetto e personalizzato. Sono stati molto professionali e precisi fin dal primo contatto. Jasmin e il suo team mi hanno fornito ogni informazione.. Aftaab che mi ha accompagnata nel tour e’ stato fantastico.

    December 2023

  • Tolle Reise!

    Hatten eine tolle Tour durch den Oman, besonders die Wadi’s und die Wüste waren ein absolutes Highlight. Wir hatten die Tour mit Fahrer gebucht, Adel und Hamed waren sehr engagiert und sicherere Fahrer. Jasmin, die örtliche Reiseleiterin, hat uns immer gut informiert und wir hatten einen guten Kontakt. Danke!!!

    November 2023

  • Aftab is the man!

    This was not only our first time to Oman, but our first time doing a private tour with a driver. After our experience, this will definitely not be our last time! Jasmine took the time to meet with us prior to our tour, and she answered all of our questions and saw to any concerns.

    As for our tour, Aftab was a walking swiss-army knife. He was our driver, guide, historian, interpreter, and off-road adventurer! He saw to our every need, in some cases even before we were aware of the need, and a great conversationist. He truly made the trip as wonderful as it was!

    Our only hope going forward is that, as we consider doing private tours in other countries, that those tour groups can keep up with the high bar that Al Maamari Tours set!

  • 10-tägige Rundreise im Oman

    Bereits die Planung und die Vorbereitung der Reise war perfekt. Jasmin, unsere Ansprechpartnerin vor Ort, eine junge Schweizerin, welche seit mehreren Jahren im Oman lebt, hat uns perfekt beraten, ist auf unsere Bedürfnisse und Wünsche eingegangen und hat uns eine tolle Tour zusammengestellt.

    Bei unserer Ankunft in Muskat wurden wir am Flughafen von Jasser herzlich willkommen geheissen und zu unserem Hotel gebracht. Nachdem wir uns ein paar Stunden ausgeruht hatten, wurden wir im Hotel von Jasser abgeholt und im Cabriolet durch Muskat chauffiert, mit anschliessender Sunset Dhow - Fahrt. Ein leckeres Abendessen im Strandrestaurant mit Jasim und Jasser war der krönende Abschluss unseres ersten Tages im Oman.

    Am nächsten Morgen wurden wir von Aftab, unserem Guide für die nächsten 10 Tage, für eine Stadtrundfahrt inklusive Besuch der Grand Mosque, der Royal Opera und dem Muttra Souq, abgeholt.

    Aftab ist ein gebildeter, interessierter und smarter Omani, der uns Geschichte, Politik Religion, Land und Leute näher gebracht hat. Für uns war dies so definitiv viel interessanter, lehrreicher, lebendiger und spannender, als alles selber in einem Reise-Führer nachlesen zu müssen!!!

    Aftab war ein unglaublich aufmerksamer Reisebegleiter. Ob Dorfwanderungen, Wadi Hiking und Swimming, lange Wanderungen wie den Balcony Walk, Sonnen-Aufgang und Untergang in der Wüste, Aftab war immer für uns da und hat auch flexibel die Pläne angepasst, wenn wir dies gewünscht haben.

    Als wir realisierten dass Aftab auch fliessend Italienisch spricht, haben wir spontan noch einige Italienisch-Lektionen während der Auto-Fahrt mit eingebaut.

    Das Highlight aber war: Aftab isst genauso gerne und gut wie wir. Durch ihn haben wir auf unserer Tour viele kulinarische „Hidden Secrets“ erleben dürfen.

    Anschliessend einige Tage Erholung im Kempinski und Shangri-La Al Husn machen den perfekten Abschluss unserer grossartigen Oman-Reise.

    Vielen Dank Aftab und Jasmin für die grossartige Zeit im Oman.

  • Tolle Privatrundreise mit Al Mamaari Tour durch den Oman als unvergessliches Erlebnis

    Wir haben mit einem befreundeten Ehepaar eine Privat-Rundreise durch den Oman bei Al Mamaari Tours gebucht. Schon die Planungsphase war sehr positiv. Wir konnten mit Jasmin von Al Mamaari auf Deutsch kommunzieren und somit die Reise unkompliziert auf unsere individuellen Bedürfnisse anpassen. Die Erlebnisse auf der Rundreise waren einfach wunderbar und übertrafen unsere Erwartungen. Dank unserem wundertollen Guide Adel war unsere Rundreise nicht einfach ein 08/15-Ding sondern unser ganz besonderes eigenes Erlebnis. So klonnten wir zum Beispiel auch die Tagesabläufe je nach Wunsch anpassen, wenn wir dazu Lust hatten. Die Unterkünfte wurden bestens ausgewählt und waren den Orten angepasst, so nächtigten wir in Hotels, Guesthouses aber auch in Zelten. Ein grosses DANKE nochmals an Adel für seine Betreuung, seine Informationsvermittlung und seine Flexibilität und auch ein MERCI an Jasmin für die einwandfreie Organisation. Wir haben uns wirklich von A bis Z wohl gefühlt. Es war MEGA! Wir können Al Mamaari Tours mit bestem Gewissen weiterempfehlen!!

    November 2023

  • Parfait

    Nous avons réservé deux excursions à la dernière minute avec l'agence Al Maamari.

    La première excursion de 3 heures pour une visite de la ville de Muscate avec un guide de la région à l'écoute et très cordial et la deuxième pour une excursion de deux jours depuis muscate vers le désert Wahiba Sand, une nuit dans le désert et visite de Wadi Bani Khalid avec un autre guide, Adil, très professionnel et qui connait très bien la région. Un guide vraiment courtois et aimable! Nous ne pouvons que recommander cette agence pour vos prochaines excursions.

  • Well organized !

    Last week we really enjoyed our short trip to Oman. The trip was well organised and executed as scheduled . We have made use of a comfortable 4x4 car and a perfect driver/host. He was not only our driver but host and guide as well. Really interesting to hear the stories, history and back ground from a guide with passion . Please make sure to wear proper shoes if you visit the Wadis since it could be wet and slippery.

  • Wonderful Oman

    We just had a wonderful time with our family in Oman. The holiday was perfect organised. We were with 3 generations and did a lot of different activities together.

    Our guide Aftab and the driver Salem were amazing. So friendly with the children and helpful with the grandparents. They listen to what we want and we could chance or add some activities to our programme.

    The hotairballoon in the desert was fantastic!

    Our flight had a large delay but the organisation knew it before we could pass the information.

    We felt very welcome in Oman due to all this positifs things and will tell it to our friends to visit this beautiful country.

    November 2023

  • A very special trip with a top organization!

    We made a tour through Oman with Aftab as driver/guide. Aftab is great. He knows a lot about the history of Oman, about the customs and customs of the Omani, he thinks along with you, is flexible and drives you to the most beautiful places. The tour lasted about 7 days and that was enough to get a good idea of the northern part of Oman. In principle you can drive yourself in Oman, but we would have spent a lot more time if we had done that. Some routes are particularly steep and narrow, and may be difficult for us to find. It's nice to be in the car with someone who knows the road and is a good driver. And all the information you receive really has added value. We enjoyed this special country. And Al Maamari Tours is great!

  • unforgettable Oman

    I was followed to Oman for a FAMTRIP by this tour operator. The entire trip was organized in detail and with the maximum possible comfort. Our guide Aftab is a very knowledgeable person, his explanations were clear and exhaustive. Aftab also stepped in to help with purchasing or other needs of the group. A discreet, kind and welcoming person. We did a tour for several days with 4x4 off-road vehicles and I also had ways to appreciate the excellent guide. My next trip to Oman will definitely be with him and his agency. Thanks also to Jasmine for the excellent organization and to the agency boss and the other two drivers. See you soon, greetings from Italy.

  • Stadtrundfahrt inkl. grosse Sultan Qabus Moschee: super interessant!

    Wir haben kurzfristig auf den nächsten Tag eine Stadtrundfahrt inklusive der wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten (Sultan Al-Qabus Moschee, Opernhaus), Besuch des Souks etc. gebucht mit deutschsprechendem Tourguide - und es war super interessant! Wir haben sehr viel erfahren über Land und Leute und wurden super betreut. Absolut empfehlenswert!

  • My Oman trip

    I had a wonderful time in Oman and enjoyed my trip very much. A big thanks to Al Maamari Tous for organizing. I went solo, but I booked a guide to travel with me. I don't regret it at all. The service was exceptional. Aside from driving me from A to B, he made tons suggestions, checked to always have water and answered many of my questions.

    Since summer isn't the main season, there are less tourists and the prices are cheaper. I was warned it's hotter. But don't worry too much. It was usually around 39°C (less in the mountains). It really only gets unbearable from 12 to 3pm, when the sun is the highest.

  • Great sightseeing Tour through Oman

    We really enjoyed our trip, seeing so many different beautiful places. Climbing and swimming at Wadi Bani Khalid, Bimma sinkhole and Wadi Al Arbiyyin with brilliant photos of the landscape. Spectacular sunset in the desert at Wahiba Sands and in the mountains at Jebel Akhdar. Visiting the Falaj at Birkat Mouz and of course beautiful city of Nizwa. Our tour guide took really good care of us, provided water all the time, answered our millions of questions and showed us hidden view points for taking spectacular photos. A big thanks to Jasmin for organizing and preparing our trip and of course to our fantastic tour guide Hamed,for making this trip an unforgettable experience.

  • Great experience!

    Al Maamari Tours and especially Jasmin and Yasser made our trip a wonderful experience of Oman! Jasmin put together our short notice request almost within 2 weeks before departure, listened to our wishes, made great suggestions, and Yasser took us through the country always feeling in best hands and with great company. Thank you so much!

  • Wow

    Sehr zu empfehlen. Ihr habt unseren Urlaub zu dem gemacht, was er war und er war einfach ein Traum in Real. Immer wieder gerne. Wir wurden bereits bei unserer Ankunft im Oman herzlichst von einem äußerst zuvorkommenden Fahrer empfangen. Während der Fahrt rief uns eine deutsprachige persönliche Ansprechpartnerin an um uns willkommenzuheißen und es wurde angeboten sich vor Ort zu treffen um die weiteren Pläne und Möglichkeiten zu besprechen - alles unkompliziert in unserem Hotel. Alle Touren und Guides liefen nach Plan und haben gehalten, was versprochen war und sogar mehr als das. Es war Traum. Danke Leutenund people, hier seid Ihr richtig!

  • Perfekter (Schweizer) Service

    Alles hat wunderbar geklappt! Nasr hat uns das Auto zum Hotel gebracht, alles gut erklärt und nach einer Woche in einem andern Hotel in Muskat abgeholt. Das kann ich nur jedem empfehlen. Man muss sich um nichts kümmern.

    Abwicklung ohne Probleme. Kann es jedem empfehlen.

  • Voyage en Arabie heureuse

    Al Maamari Tour nous a organiser notre voyage (autotour à Oman). Nous avions réservé l'avion de notre côté). L'organisation du voyage a été très précisément déterminée avec Jasmin, qui n'a pas ménagé son temps pour nous aider et nous conseiller, entre autre lors d'un meeting Zoom. Sur place, tout c'est bien passé, à chaque étape nous avions les meilleurs chambres dans les hôtels choisis. (attention toutefois, l'offre omanaise n'est pas toujours cinq étoiles). Al Maamari a exactement compris ce que nous cherchions, c'est très appréciable ! Nous n'avions pas demandé à Jasmin une localisation GPS précise des curiosités à visiter en province et c'était une erreur de notre part : les villes sont très étendues, la signalisation touristique inexistante et la cartographie des apps GPS parfois approximative.

    February 2023

  • Wonderful!

    Jasmin knows Oman very well and our guide Nabhan is funny, experienced and professional. The team provided an unforgettable experience for us. 100% recommend.

    March 2023

  • A wonderful sightseeing in Muscat

    That was a really pleasant journey around Muscat, thank you!

    We did sights in the capital of Oman, Muscat and that was interesting, we covered everything we wanted to.

    February 2023

  • Great service!

    Al Maamari Tours put together a full tour with rental car (4x4) for us in which we saw almost the entire country. The rental car was top, so were the accommodation hotels and the service was super! Jasmin kept in touch via whatsapp the whole route, so we never had to ask or look for anything ourselves. So I definitely recommend Al Maamari Tours to my clients.

  • A very pleasant one day trip in Nizwa

    We booked a full day trip to Nizwa and Grand Canyon in December. Aftab came to our hotel to pick up and then we spent a delightful day with him.

    The guide was prepared and explained lot of things about Oman history and art. His Italian language was perfect and my mother was very happy to talk with him.

    We saw lot of things in Nizwa and had launch in a very nice restaurant in Al Hamra before ascending Jabal Shams. His hospitality was great and we felt as we ever lived in Oman.

    January 2023

  • Roundtrip in Oman

    I liked the mosque, it is amazing, at the end the guide introduced us to a Muslim woman who explained more about the Islam and gave us literature.

    Aftab, our guide recommended a very good restaurant for sea food called Turkish House.

  • A professional and attentive agency for dream holidays

    We organised a visit to Muscat first and then a 3 day tour of the desert and mountains. Jasmin listened to our needs and adapted the programme to our requirements. With her wise advice, she knew how to make the tour that suited us the most. Our guide Aftab showed us his country with passion. He knows the history and the places like the back of his hand. He was also very attentive and made us discover Oman according to our desires and at our pace. What a pleasure. We came back from this trip with wonderful images in our heads. With Al Maamari Tours, you choose a quality and professional organization. I recommend them with my eyes closed. We made several offers before we found them, and they are by far the most reliable and serious agency. Do you want to discover Oman in an unusual way? Don't hesitate, you are in the right place with Al Maamari. Thanks to Jasmin, Yasser and Aftab for their kindness and for making our holiday unforgettable.

    Nov 2022

  • A top in Muscat

    The Ramada Encore Hotel recommended this agency to me. I was not disappointed. I did three "one day tours" with this company which shows a great professionalism. I thank its owner Yasser.

    My special thanks go to Aftab who was my guide during my visits. A man of great competence, excessively helpful and showing a lot of humanity. Many thanks to him! I would especially recommend him as a guide.

    Thank you Al Maamari Tours.

  • An unforgettable day with turtles and tropical fish.

    Jasmin organized a great experience: snorkeling with turtles, swimming with tropical fish as if you swim in an aquarium. When you are in Oman, this trip is a MUST. This is one of the most beautiful places on earth: the Al-Dimaniyat Islands Nature Reserve off the coast of Muscat. Al Maamari Tours, tourguide in Oman is the best.

    Thank you Jasmin for this trip! It is unforgettable.

    August 2022

  • Yasser and Jasmin organize the best tours in Oman.

    Last weekend we had a day trip to the 200 years historic museum Bait Al Ghasham outside Muscat. Very interesting! Followed an uphill trip in Landcruiser, 1500 m, up in the mountains to Wakan Village. Lunch, and a bit of hiking.

    Then recognition trip in a nearby Wadi. The car bashing in the water was sensational. Yasser stated: "it cleans my car under". Yasser is really a great guide, and Jasmin prepared and organized the whole pleasant trip very efficiently. I fully recommend Al Maamari Tours. They show you the best of Oman.

    August 2022

  • Amazing experience

    We met Al Maamari Tours trough the hotel that we stayed in Oman. We wanted to rent a car and the hotel gave us their contact. From then on everything was amazing, we got our car, tips for what to do and where to go and they organized a boat tour to daymanyiat islands for snorkeling.

    Everything went well and i just wish i knew about them and their services sooner.

    Both Jasmin and Yasser were very nice and helpfull everytime we needed. Trully recommend them!

    May 2022

  • Individual and highly professional!

    At the Ramada Al-Ghubra Hotel I met employees of this company, including the boss and Jasmin (speaks German). They gave me detailed information about the possible tours. All individual wishes were catered for, and further questions could be clarified easily via Whats App.

    I then booked three tours with Aftab (driver & guide). Muscat Half Day, Wahiba Desert and Jabal Akhdar & Nizwa. Some changes to the standard routes were possible without any problems.

    I felt safe and Aftab did everything to make sure I took home the best memories about his homeland. It was not cheap, but I don't regret it for a single second! Absolutely recommendable, thank you very much!

    April 2022

  • A wonderful and reliable tour operator

    We had a wonderful experience with Al Maamari. Communication was perfect in the weeks before travelling, Jasmin is incredibly responsive and a pleasure to be in touch with.

    The quality of their service is truly impeccable. Our guide Al Roby went constantly above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable and special, with his tips, recommendations and guidance to do things a bit off the beaten track. Would definitely recommend.

    February 2022

  • Al Maamari is really first awesome

    With Al Maamari Tours we found a very competent partner for our Oman trip. Even the initial contact was exceptional. We sent an enquiry with a suggested route to Al Maamari. After only one hour, Jasmin gave us an optimised route with time, price and hotel details.

    During our private tour, everything worked out excellently. During the tour around Muscat, we had Aftab as our guide and driver. Aftab proved to be extremely competent, friendly, helpful and caring. During our stay in Salalah, Ahmed took care of us. We can only report positive things about him as well. Both of them were more than eager to make our trip as pleasant and eventful as possible.

    We can highly recommend Al Maamari Tours.

    December 2021

  • Unforgettable experience

    My experience in Muscat has been amazing and it’s without the shade of a doubt thanks to Al Maamari Tours and its great team.

    The team as a whole has been very friendly, helpful, available and welcoming. Everything was on point, from the booking to the activity itself.

    I have booked 3 activities and they all went perfect. Special thanks to :
    - Jasmin for her kindness and her availability
    - Salim for his knowledge and this great day spent together
    - and last but not least… Yasser for his incredible hospitality, thoughtfulness and kindness !! Thanks again for these incredible moments !!

    I wish I could put more than 5 stars. I definitely recommend Al Maamari Tours to anyone who wishes to discover and enjoy Oman !

    December 2021

    We had the most amazing experience at Wadi Shab and Bimmah sinkhole tour, it was really a lifetime one, our tour guide was very cool and fun and that is what counts the most, so we are super happy to have a chance to go on tour with you.

    When we are back in Oman we will definitely refer to Al Maamari tours again.
