O călătorie captivantă în istoria Omanului

Castelul Taqa, drumul tămâiei și bazarul tradițional sunt pline de farmec. Ghidul a vorbit o engleză excelentă și a fost extrem de bine documentat și amabil. Ne-a plăcut enorm!

Rich history, wonderful guide and sights

We did both the Taqa excursion and the city tour, and both were captivating. The architecture, the scent of genuine frankincense everywhere, and the warm smiles of the locals made it special. Top marks for organization!

Fascinating cultural and heritage tour

A wonderful introduction to Dhofari history and Omani culture. We explored the ancient castle of Taqa, learned about the historic frankincense trade, visited the Grand Mosque, and strolled through the lively fruit stalls and Haffa Souq. Our guide spoke fluent English and was a pleasure to listen to!
