Fantastic day, highly recommend! I booked a day trip with Moon Tours to Muscat and I had an absolutely fantastic day. I was picked up on time and greeted, showed around all the sites and given history and factual information that I would never have known if I had done that tour by myself. My guide was so accommodating and helpful the entire day and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. I don’t usually take private tours solo however I had a fantastic time and highly recommend me to anyone who is visiting Muscat. I look forward to returning to Oman exploring more of such a beautiful country and booking again with Moon tours. Thank you!

Family trip with Moon tours My family and I embarked on an incredible 8-day journey with Moon Tour Oman. The tour was expertly arranged, and our guide, Qambar, was a wealth of knowledge and warmth. Every moment in Oman was a delight, and we were thoroughly captivated by the experience. Without a doubt, we will return to this enchanting country, and Moon Tour will remain our top choice. We highly recommend it to anyone seeking to explore the wonders of Oman.

Unbeatable experience First time in Oman we choose a tour with moon tours. Perfect choice. Qambar designed an individual tour and we covered so many highlights we did not expect . All was perfectly organised. Qambar gave us the chance to immerge into the culture, food, traditions, people, clothing, architecture and nature. We did sightseeing, hiking, swimming, turtle watching, local markets and much more. Thank you Qambar for this unforgettable time. We recommend moon tours for any Oman travelers and will certainly plan the next trip to Oman with them.

Ein Abenteuer, dass mich Wochen danach immer noch sprachlos macht 10 Tage Abenteuer Oman die unvergessen bleiben. Wir haben mit Qambar Orte gesehen und Erlebnisse erfahren, die mich mehrfach sprachlos und zutiefst berührt haben. Er ist ein perfekter Organisator und von Grund auf herzlicher Gastgeber.

An unforgettable trip!! We undertook a 10-day round trip as a group of three, and Moon-Travel perfectly organized the journey. Our guide Qambar accompanied us throughout the entire tour, and from beginning to end, we felt safe and well-cared for by him. He impressed us with his friendly and humorous manner and brought us closer to Omani culture. The 10-day tour flew by, and each day brought one or more highlights. Qambar speaks perfect English, has extensive knowledge, and even fulfilled special requests, such as the custom tailoring of a dishdasha. I can unreservedly recommend Moon-Travel and especially Qambar as a travel guide to anyone who wants to visit Oman. For my next trip to the north of Oman, it will only be Moon-Travel for me!

Fantastic Oman tour! Qambar guided us in a fantastic tour of Muscat, Wadi Shab, Wadi Bani Kalid, the desert Wahiba Sands and Nizwa. We saw marvelous places and had fun in the desert trip! Qambar is a very nice and available person, passionate about his work. He wanted us to feel good in our tour. I recommend Moon Tours Oman!

Qamber The tour was a breathtaking experience, not only have we seen the most beautiful mountains, terraces and landscapes but also had immersed into a history of Oman, expressed through ancient ruins, irrigation system and the flavour or of old towns. Our special gratitude goes to our guide we came across while travelling the world, a humble, gentle human being Qambar, a true Omani who invested his heart and soul to introduce us into the colourful and deeply spiritual culture of Oman, the experience we will never forget. We had a very short trip to Oman and I can't stress enough how important and profound for us was this day. I always keep recommending Qambar and Moon Tours Oman and we will come again to Oman.

Perfekte Tagestour Perfekte, wunderschöne Tagestour in Muscat und Umgebung. Mit Qambar alles schriftlich von Deutschland aus geplant. Hussain , unser Tourguide , hat uns vom Flughafen abgeholt und mit uns einen wunderbaren Tag verbracht. Hussain, danke nochmals dafür . In der Nacht ging es dann wieder zurück nach Abu Dhabi. Wir können die Jungs nur weiterempfehlen. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder, nur nächstes Mal bleiben wir länger. Grüße aus Deutschland
