“Our tour with Shams Travels felt like a journey through Oman’s hidden treasures! From the moment we landed, our guide greeted us with warm Omani hospitality, speaking perfect German and making us feel right at home. Our adventure began with a stay at a beautiful resort in Muscat, with views of the Arabian Sea—a perfect balance of luxury and traditional design. We then headed to Jebel Shams, where we trekked through the “Grand Canyon of Arabia.” The landscapes were surreal; we had never seen anything like it. Shams Travels arranged an overnight stay at a charming mountain lodge, complete with cozy bonfires and local Omani tea. Later, we ventured into the Wahiba Sands, where we experienced dune bashing, rode camels, and slept in a desert camp under a blanket of stars. The Bedouin hospitality was unforgettable—they prepared a traditional dinner for us, and we spent the evening learning about their way of life. Every moment was thoughtfully planned, and we’re grateful to Shams Travels for creating such a magical experience!”

“Traveling with Shams Travels to Oman was an incredible experience that combined adventure, relaxation, and cultural discovery. We stayed in luxurious tents in the Wahiba Sands that felt like something out of ‘1001 Nights,’ complete with plush beds, private bathrooms, and air conditioning—a perfect mix of comfort and authenticity. The desert was breathtaking; we spent our days exploring the dunes on camelback and even tried sandboarding! Our guide, who spoke fluent Russian, was knowledgeable and friendly, sharing stories of Oman’s history and traditions. After the desert, we headed to the coast of Ras Al Jinz, where Shams Travels had arranged a turtle-watching experience. Witnessing the giant green sea turtles nesting on the beach was unforgettable. We ended our tour in Muscat, where we explored the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque and stayed at a gorgeous beachfront hotel with a spa and traditional Omani architecture. Shams Travels truly thought of every detail. We left Oman with hearts full of adventure and memories we’ll cherish forever.”

“Shams Travels designed the perfect tour to explore Oman’s diverse beauty. We started our journey in Muscat, staying at an exquisite hotel with traditional Omani decor and incredible Gulf views. We spent the first day exploring Muscat’s landmarks—the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque was breathtaking with its grand chandeliers and stunning architecture, and the Muttrah Souk was alive with colors and aromas. We loved wandering through the market, picking up spices, silver jewelry, and handmade souvenirs. Next, we visited Wadi Shab, where we hiked along turquoise pools and waterfalls, even swimming through a cave at the end—it felt like a hidden oasis! Shams Travels planned each day with a unique experience, including a dhow cruise in Musandam, where we snorkeled in crystal-clear waters, and a guided tour of Nizwa Fort, giving us insight into Oman’s rich history. Our final night was spent at a luxury desert camp, where we enjoyed Omani cuisine under the stars. The whole experience was immersive and so thoughtfully curated. Thank you, Shams Travels, for an unforgettable adventure!”

“Traveling solo, I was initially nervous, but Shams Travels made me feel so welcomed and safe. My tour began in the heart of Muscat, where I stayed at a lovely boutique hotel that reflected Omani heritage with modern comforts. I was instantly struck by the kindness of the locals and the beauty of the city. We toured the Grand Mosque, the Royal Opera House, and even had a chance to attend an evening performance! After Muscat, Shams Travels organized a scenic drive through the Al Hajar mountains, with a stop in the enchanting village of Misfat Al Abriyeen, a place filled with ancient mud-brick houses and lush date plantations. We spent the night at a mountaintop lodge, where I enjoyed traditional Omani cuisine and watched the sunset over the cliffs. One of the highlights was a visit to the coastal town of Sur and a stay at a luxury beachfront resort. The team had arranged for us to go on a traditional dhow boat cruise, where we spotted dolphins and snorkeled among colorful fish. The attention to detail and the warmth of everyone involved made my solo adventure truly memorable. I can’t thank Shams Travels enough for showing me Oman’s beauty.”

“Our Oman tour with Shams Travels was everything we dreamed of and more. We began with a few days in Muscat at an elegant hotel overlooking the Gulf. The team took us to the iconic sights, from the Grand Mosque to the colorful Muttrah Souk, where we sampled Omani coffee and dates and purchased beautiful handicrafts. Next, we traveled to Wadi Bani Khalid, where we swam in natural pools surrounded by date palms—it was like discovering paradise! The highlight was a night in the Wahiba Sands. Shams Travels arranged a stay at a luxury camp with comfortable beds and a delicious traditional dinner. We rode camels, watched the sunset over the dunes, and spent the night stargazing in complete silence—it was magical. Our tour concluded with a trip to Nizwa, where we explored the famous fort and market. Shams Travels handled every detail, from arranging private transfers to ensuring our dietary preferences were met. We returned home with a deep appreciation for Oman’s culture, people, and landscapes. Thank you, Shams Travels, for making our dream journey come true!”

As a solo traveler, I appreciated the personalized care and safety throughout the journey. We started in Muscat, where I stayed at a boutique hotel with views of the city’s stunning coastline. I explored the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, wandered through the Muttrah Souk, and tasted delicious Omani halwa and dates. From Muscat, we ventured into the Al Hajar mountains, stopping in the village of Misfat Al Abriyeen. Walking through the date plantations and narrow alleys felt like stepping into another era. The highlight was Jebel Akhdar, where we hiked through rose terraces and enjoyed the fresh mountain air. I ended my tour with a night in the Wahiba Sands desert—sleeping under the stars, surrounded by dunes, was magical. Shams Travels handled everything with such warmth and professionalism, making this solo trip a truly enriching experience.”

“Our family trip to Oman with Shams Travels was one of the best experiences we’ve ever had! We traveled with our two kids, aged 10 and 12, and Shams Travels made sure there was something exciting for everyone. Our adventure began in Muscat, where we stayed at a beautiful resort with plenty of family-friendly amenities. The kids loved exploring the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque and taking a boat trip to spot dolphins in the Gulf of Oman. We then headed to the mountains for a scenic drive through Jebel Shams, where we hiked along the cliff trails of Oman’s ‘Grand Canyon.’ Our guide was fantastic with the kids, explaining Oman’s history and culture in a way they could easily understand. One of the highlights was camping in the Wahiba Sands desert. Shams Travels arranged a spacious family tent, and we enjoyed camel rides, sandboarding, and a Bedouin-style dinner around a campfire. Watching the kids marvel at the starry desert sky was priceless. Oman was a perfect destination for our family, and Shams Travels made it all possible with seamless organization and personal touches.”
