Salim Al-Maawali
Guide touristique pour des visites privées en
Oman

Thank you Salim for guiding or group of 6 in June 2026 exploring the beautiful landscapes of your country. You are a very knowledgeable person in both the history and culture of Oman. We were so lucky to have you guiding us. Our experience would not have been the same without Salim.
Salim’s friendly demeanour made us feel comfortable and he treated us like family - surprising us along the way and tailoring our itinerary to suit our needs and the heat. Whether we were exploring the stunning desert or visiting historical sites, Salim was very knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights.Salim’s passion for Oman is undeniable. We left with beautiful memories and a newfound friend in Salim. Thank you, Salim, for making our holiday! One of the best guides we have ever had whilst touring.

What an amazing guide Salim is!!
He speaks excellent English and is extremely knowledgeable about the history, geography, people and culture of Oman. He made our tour so interesting and often added delightful surprises to our itinerary.
His kind, helpful, considerate, witty and charming personality made the trip a memorable one. 10/10

Salim is a superb tour guide. He's very thoughtful, knowledgeable, understands his clients and is very accommodating, and he is a local. He speaks excellent English. And has a passion for tour guiding. He drove us expertly through mountains, valleys and sinuous roads. He is very thoughtful towards children and families with children. He has several contacts across Oman who help and accommodate his clients throughout.

Voor het tweede jaar op rij heb ik als reisleidster van een groep Nederlandse toeristen gewerkt met Salim, een geweldige gids en gastheer van zijn land.

Salim is behulpzaam, attent, professioneel en heeft oor en oog voor alle gasten, hij kent zijn land als geen ander en een vraag aan hem blijft nooit onbeantwoord. Niets is hem teveel.

Ik kan Salim dan ook van harte aanbevelen aan een ieder die Oman wil gaan bezoeken.
Ikzelf verheug mij nu al weer op onze volgende samenwerking.

My wife and I travelled in the the group of 8, mentioned in the review of Mr. Orlando Morroy below. We visited the northern part of Oman from february 5 till 11, 2026 with Salim. I fully agree with the very positive reviews from other travellers which I have read on this website.
In addition to Salim's enormous knowledge of every site in the country he surprised us also with a lot of other interesting information about Oman society, government, religion and even techinacal explanations of installations that we passed by, like the desalination plants, power stations and other things..
We had to cover a lot of kilometers in the bus for our trip, coming from Dubai. Salim took care that we always had a stop after 50 to 90 minutes in the bus. And during these stretches he was tireless in telling us interesting stories which entertained us while in the bus. He was also helpful with getting us real quick through the border procedures which can take a lot of time.
I highly recommend him to everyone who is planning to visit Oman.

With great joy i travelled in Oman together with my group of 8 Dutch travellers, guided by this excellent professional Salim

With great knowledge and charm he showed us his beautiful country.

Next to his unlimited knowledge of his country , the Omani society, and culture he showed also his amazing warm personality , network and humor ....which made touring with him an amazing adventure.

A true professional, honest and also finding the solution in case of any disruption.

Look forward to work with him again.

We contacted Salim in January 2026 to discuss a few days sight seeing whilst we were visiting Muscat - we had read his other reviews and found them to be exceptional. We usually do self exploration when we visit other countries but knew that with the terrain in Oman and not wanting to drive this would not have been possible. Salim contacted us immediately within a few hours on making initial contact providing us with options for the two days and photographs of his vehicle - along with a competitive tariff. The days out were a treat - informative and extremely enjoyable - one day doing The Opera House and the new National Museum - a must. The other day doing a variation of "Oman Across the Ages" - we greatly enjoyed our time with Salim and were sad that we only able to spend two days with him. Such a wonderful country and guide.

Dear Salim. We met each other last year as I was guiding an incentive group from Belgium. As I know Oman very well, I wa every surprised how much knowledge you have about the country. But on top of that, you stole everybody’s heart of the group. Understanding what the group needs, being so attent and your calmness and grounding makes you the perfect tour guide. This year I came back with my group of friends and I booked you again. No doubt about it that I wanted you to have by my side to accomplish the perfect trip! Thank you again for your kindness, professionalism and generosity! Salim, the best guide in Oman
