About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- RDhanuka0 contributionsOman ToursWe had hired 3 land cruisers from AJ Tourism for our family holiday in Oman. The cars were as promised. Sulaiman, our guide and the other drivers were very professional, good and dedicated. We had a great time. I am glad to have used AJ Tourism for our transportation and tour services !Written 30 October 2023
- 879sanjaz0 contributionsJebel Shams with SalimAl Hoota cave was interesting,although we couldn't go on the train because it wasn't in function. The walk and views on Jebel Shams are amazing. Our tour guide Salim was very good. He told us many things about hiking im Oman, so if you're interested just ask for him.Written 21 October 2023

- jrancelp0 contributionsWonderfulI did a multi day tour including Muscat, Dinamiyat Islands, Jabel Al Akhdar, Nizwa, Jabel Shams, Wahiba Sands, Wadi Bani Khalid, Sur, Ras al Jinz turtle reserve and Wadi Shab. Everything was amazing! Great hotel selection with breakfast included, delicious lunch and organized itinerary. I had the best tour guide ever (Hamaid Ahmed Alamri)! Kind and patient, he went above and beyond to exceed ALL my expectations! I loved Oman and went returning will not hesitate to contact this company again. I strongly recommend to anyone coming to Oman. Suggestion for travelers: Try to accommodate your visit to Nizwa for a Friday as is the best day to go to the market.Written 13 March 2023

- Deborah_Vezzosi_70 contributionsBest tour in Oman!!My boyfriend and I embarked on a two day tour, we were entrusted with Said as a guide, a young guide who immediately put us at ease, was very professional and took care of us throughout the time spent together, he was very patient with us and gave us all the time we needed to finish the visits, meals and photos 😂. We filled him with questions about Oman and its culture and he always answered us kindly and helped us understand its traditions. Needless to say, he has satisfied us on everything and is also a great photographer! It was a beautiful tour that I highly recommend to those visiting this beautiful countryWritten 6 January 2023
- imko0 contributionsThe best experience in OmanI took this tour in Muscat when I had a 15 hour stopover in Oman. It was my best desicion there. The tour was just amazing and very enterntaining. Special thank you the tour guide Mr. Monther. He knows a lot and his sense of humour is just amazing. I truly enjoyed his company. Everything was very professional and on time. I can say that they made me to want to visit Oman again. I can strongly recommend this tour and this guide to everybodyWritten 18 December 2022
- Freedom205168456540 contributionsFantastic trip.I had most remarkable trip with our guide Khalid, Not only everything was perfect, but we felt, in every instance, that our guide Khalid truly cared about us. I liked the hike, nature, fish spa, and the food was perfect. Most importantly Khalid is a good in desert drifting 😁. The greatest value compared with the price. Thanks a lot.Written 11 December 2022
- 257juliad0 contributionsOutstanding tour of West SalalahI am a first time visitor to Oman and Salalah. Ghanim was an excellent guide! He provided so much information about Oman and Salalah. He provided great communication ahead of the tour so that I knew what to expect and what to bring on the day. He took me to several “secret” locations and we were able experience some absolutely stunning locations in Oman. I intend to visit Oman again next year and will not hesitate to book again with Ghanim.Written 7 December 2022
- Cherie C0 contributionsAmazing experience not to be missed!!We signed up for a private day trip to Bimmah sinkhole, Wadi Bani Khalid and Wahiba Sands with Aryaf Jibreen tourism after reading tons of packages and reviews from different companies online. We liked the recommendations and flexibility and the relatively reasonable pricing, so we decided to go with them in the end. We had Bader as our guide for the day and I couldn’t be happier with our experience! Not only had he demonstrated the best version of Omani hospitality, he’s also got great sense of humour and our whole trip had been filled with laughter and giggles (and also food & drinks 😂) We were welcomed by Bader at the hotel lobby and he took us with his land cruiser. Before we set off, he explained the time needed to travel between places and was a good timekeeper throughout the journey. He’s got a fridge ready in the vehicle where he prepared water and some juice to quench our thirst, and also some dates, tahina dips, karak tea and Omani coffee (my favourite) to make sure we don’t starve during the day. Lunch was included in this tour and we were taken to a Omani/ Yemeni restaurant for some really yummy camel meat and lamb shuwa (eating on the floor like a local!) My favourite part of the tour was definitely the Wahiba sands…!!! at first I was worried and skeptical coz I read on the internet before that some other tour companies would only stop at rundown spots and the photos taken would not turn out nicely. But Bader knows what we wanted and drove us into the dunes after visiting a badouin house. The view and sunset were just captivating!!! 🥺 he also made us kayak tea after sunset (tastes much like our milk tea in Hong Kong!) and we stayed on until dark. Bader seems to be very passionate about his job and would go the extra mile with his hospitality and recommendations (I even asked him where we can get good dates and coffee back in Muscat). In conclusion, i feel we were so lucky to have Bader as our guide, coz the whole experience didn’t feel like a commercial tour but more like a friend who welcomed his guests to his country, showing the best of Oman!! I’d recommend this tour to anyone!!Written 7 December 2022
- YimaGogo0 contributionsAmazing view and informative guideWe had really great time in west of salalah with our tourist guide Ghanim. He is so informative that shared a lot of Omani culture, society, lifestyle and landscapes. We could say we’re an expert in salalah 😆 He’s also professional to suggest us poses or best spot to take pictures with the gorgeous view. Besides, we visited some secret viewpoints that only local people would know. I highly recommend to buy this package because for west part of salalah, you need to drive through off-road and several hairpin turns to many of attractions which might be kind of dangerous if you don’t have a 4*4 car.Written 28 September 2022
- Nursejoy_sh0 contributionsBeautiful SalalahI was fortunate to visit Salalah during khareef season. Ghanim's tour guide service was referred to me by social media. He was responsive, professional and helped curate a tour according to our objectives (nature, hiking, good food and karak). He connected us to Amir, who was our wonderful guide from the duration of our time in Salalah. Airport pick up and drop off was seamless. Amir was punctual, kind, warm and professional. He also took great pictures. Our trip was relaxed and enjoyable. Salalah during khareef season is beautiful and Omani people are so warm. We are thankful for the care from Ghanim and Amir. Words really don't do justice for the beauty of Salalah and also the wonderful care from our guide, Amir. Would recommend.Written 1 September 2022
- hazelpearlt0 contributionsSuperb and Beautiful(First day of tour🥰 ) My First glimpse of “Paradise” as i called it , i am very speechless and teary eyed while watching the beautiful creation of God , my decision going here in Salalah was the best and worth it , definitely going to be back Soon 🥰📸Written 28 August 2022

I went on the ladies' and children tour to Jebel Akhdar, visiting the terraced gardens of pomegranates, an old village turned into a b&b built in the mountain wall with stunning sights to take in.
We enjoyed the well known omani hospitality all throughout the trip. The children loved exploring the pomegranate orchard, chasing froggies and picking ripe fruits. Would definitely recommend it for mothers wanting to offer a fun and safe adventure in the mountains for the kids.

Went as a couple and opted for the Jabal Akhdar day tour. We spent quite a good time at Nizwa, exploring the Souq and the Fort. Headed to the mountains afterwards and had an amazing local lunch in an Omani house. Enjoyed our time here as we got to know morr about the culture. After lunch, we had a small trek to the villages overlooking the Oman mountains - breathtaking! Our guide Amaar was very patient taking us around to see the best places. He’s very knowledgeable of the history which we appreciated so much 🙏🏼 This has been one of the best tours we’ve done so far.

This tour was amazing! Said went above and beyond to show me the best of Oman! We did so much beyond what was even in the description of the tour. Said made sure to accommodate what my interests were and was very kind and fun to spend the day with. Loved walking around the top of the mountain and the views were incredible. The fort and market were also very nice to see but the mountains and our afternoon walking around were amazing. Day flew by and got to really see the culture of Oman.

It was a lovely tour and well arranged by the team. Mountainous areas have always been my favourite and Jabal Akhdar does provide the kind of escapism that is wonderful. Suwjra Village is one of a kind and the fruits fruits fruits - delicious!! Wish I had the chance to visit the walnut farm one day.
