- 989hazmis0 contributionsA day to remember with a fun and trustworthy guide.We had a really great time soaking in the natural beauty of East Salalah with Hamid as our guide. Hamid came early to pick up up for the tour. Our first stop was the Sulan Qaboos mosque of Salalah, the we went up the Thaqah cliff overlooking the town and majestic coastline. We had coffee at Darbat cafe overlooking the valley. Even though we missed the khareef season and the waterfalls were almost dry, the view was still breathtaking. Hamdi took us up the Samhan Mountain Peak and we enjoyed a clear wiew of the range and valley underneath. Our trip was also full of interesting detours where Hamid shared his secret hidden gems like the frankensense tree and hidden beach spot. We ended the day watching the sunset while enjoying a sampling of fresh camel milk at a camel farm. Another one of Hamid’s detour which we were grateful for. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend a day in Salalah, with memories to last a lifetime. Thanks to Amazing Salalah Tourism. Its five stars!Written 1 December 2024
- 989hazmis0 contributionsEnjoyable day out with a very reliable guideInitially booked a rental car for a self-drive tour of Salalah and surroundings. Problems with the car agency made me contact Hamid (recommended by a friend) to arrange for tours. Hamid took us on Salalah East half tour. Since the first communication Hamid was clear in what he had to offer ie a great car plus a great itinerary. We went to the Sultan Qaboos Mosque then drove eastwards visiting Eftilqout for the panoramic view, Mughsul beach blowholes and beaches along the way. Had a good swim at Fazayah beach before heading back at hotel. Hamid was trustworthy and knowledgable and made us feel safe. We enjoyed so much more than if we had rented a car.Written 26 November 2024

Eftelquot viewpoint, and getting drenched near the blowholes were the highlights of this trip!
Salalah is a beautiful place. There are so many attractions to visit in your limited stay that you need an accomplished local guide. We worked out a comprehensive 3-day itinerary with Hamid, including West of Salalah, that had a mix of nature, trails, beaches, culture and food.
The first thing you will notice about Hamid is his cheerful smile...the next thing you will realize immediately is that language and culture is not a barrier when interacting with Hamid. Our 5 year old formed an instant friendship with Hamid too! Hamid is extremely accommodating and absolutely fun to hang out with. We had great conversation and chit chat.... so much that the time spent in the car was as much fun as the time spent at the destination spots. Hamid gave us useful pointers prior to a destination, this way we were able to prepare ourselves and enjoy the destination as per our liking and preferences when we actually got there.
Thanks to Hamid, we left Salalah with good memories, and a promise to return!

We really enjoyed the trip. Mainly because our our guide, Hamid. He was knowledgeable and hospitable. Also a good chat companion and told us a lot of interesting things. Note that best time to come here is September/beginning of October. Before that, there’s a rain season, after everything turns yellow so won’t be much greenery around. Trip was a total of 7 hours, so not too rough. I also personally suggest to start a bit later so that you get to Shaat by sunset time. We started at noon time and the timing was ideal. Also check the weather prior to booking, as the most could spoil things a bit for you :)

A beautiful and almost deserted stretch of coast. Thanks to our guide Hamid we discovered incredible rock formations and a breathtaking ocean panorama. We spent unforgettable hours on a long stretch of light sand that plunges into a turquoise sea full of fish and turtles. Interesting excursion and absolutely not to be missed

Beautiful places and beaches, amazing viewpoints! Thanks to Hamid, our competent and friendly guide. We spent a full day walking on white sand beaches, spotting wandering camels (even on the route), observing incredible rock formations, bathing in the sunlight, breathing fresh sea air ... and a lot more!
