Reiseführer – private Touren
Oman

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

It was for us on our planned tour thru Oman a real stroke of luck to have gotten Salim as our tour guide. He was a very kind and open minded guy. Not that he only drove us around to places but he also with his broad knowledge was a more maintaining companion for us. On every subject was it technical, political, social or historical, he was on a firm terrain. That made our tour a real pleasure.
We learned a lot of the insides of Oman and its culture, their people and the amazing landscapes.
Salim had a good sense of our preferences and eventually adjusted our itinerary in order for us to lvisit other interesting places.
Last but not least I like to emphasize, that Salim was an incredibly professional driver. Every situation of the traffic and even on off-road he managed with great sovereignty. We never felt unsafe or uncomfortable during the trip.
We really decide to come back in a very near future.
Thank you so much, Salim!

Our experience with Salim was truly exceptional, which we’ll always keep in our hearts.
He was incredibly knowledgeable & professional & went above & beyond to ensure our trip was memorable.
Over the six days, he guided us to hidden gems we would never have seen on our own. He introduced us to the authentic Oman making our cultural immersion unforgettable.
We especially appreciated his deep insights into Omani culture and history.
He was incredible with our children & kept them happy all the time.
A perfect 10/10 - highly recommended!
Best regards, family Daniels

Salim has truly been one of the most amazing tour guides we have ever had, if not the best. He was always professional and extremely well informed about any topic. With the passing of the time he became a friend to us because of his nice manners, of his humor and of his flexibility. He puts his heart into his job and it's easily noticeable from the way he makes the group feel: at home. He is extremely well prepared about handling any kind of landscape; from the desert to the mountains and the coast. In the desert, he also stopped to help another car that got stuck; this shows the noble soul he has. We always felt safe with him and with only 5 days we truly felt part of the culture. It was a pleasure to visit oman with Salim, a truly special person.

Salim was recommended to us by The Chedi hotel. He was a fantastic guide, adapting our itinerary on the fly, listening to what we wanted to do and coming up with excellent solutions. His English is perfect, he has excellent knowledge of Omani history and the areas of interest around Muscat. He can position his information within the context of both current affairs and history which made his stories and information feel even more relevant. We went to the desert with him for quad-biking and a little dune-bashing. Then he took us to Wadi Bani Khalid for a gorgeous mini-hike and swim. Remember to wear good trail shoes!
I would highly recommend Salim as a guide for any excursion. The combination of his knowledge, curiosity and friendliness makes him one of the best guides we have ever had. My wife and son 100% agree!

We had the pleasure of experiencing an unforgettable 6-day tour of Oman, thanks to our amazing guide, Salim. From start to finish, Salim was a true professional—his deep knowledge of Oman’s history, culture, and landscapes was evident in every detail he shared with us. He was not only informative but also incredibly patient, answering every question with enthusiasm and clarity, making the whole experience feel personal and engaging.

Salim’s ability to seamlessly blend fascinating historical facts with local anecdotes kept us all captivated throughout the journey. Whether we were exploring the vibrant city of Mascat, strolling through the stunning Wadis, driving offroad through the desert, visiting ancient forts and villages with breathtaking gardens and views, Salim's insights helped bring every location to life. His passion for his country shone through, and it was clear that he genuinely loves showing others the beauty of Oman.

What truly set Salim apart, though, was his excellent communication and attentiveness. He made sure everyone felt comfortable, checking in regularly to ensure our needs were met and that we were having the best possible experience. Salim went above and beyond to make the tour memorable, making it clear that this was more than just a job for him—it was his true passion.

Overall, Salim exceeded all expectations, and I couldn’t have asked for a better guide to show us the wonders of Oman. Highly recommend him for anyone looking to experience the beauty and culture of this incredible country!
Thank you for all - Shukran

Best enthusiastic and knowledeable guide!
What an amazing and unforgettable tour we (four sisters and our mum) had with Salim as our guide. He guided us through his beautiful country in a fun, charming, respectfull, caring and very reliable way. We had the most amazing experiences with him and learned a lot about the way of living in Oman. We highly recommand Salim as a guide and we will book him for sure again when we will return to the wonderful country of Oman!

I had a wonderful experience with Salim. He designed a perfect itinerary that enabled me to see so many beautiful facets of Oman - desert, oasis, sea, history, culture, museums - in just four days, and made tweaks along the way to adapt it to my interests. He was reliable, kind, warm and extremely knowledgeable. I learned a lot more about Oman than I would have otherwise without Salim as a guide. It is an amazing country, and Salim is the perfect guide to enable you to discover it, and make the most of your trip.
