Coming to Muscat for a weekend from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait or Bahrain? Our Muscat private tours for Gulf visitors give your family or group a private van, an English-speaking driver, an Arabic- or English-speaking guide on request, and a price per vehicle, not per person. Choose a day trip, or combine two into a two-day plan.

A two-day plan in Muscat
Day 1: Muscat. Start at the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in the morning, then take photo stops at the Royal Opera House and Al Alam Palace. Keep the late afternoon and evening for Mutrah Souq and the Corniche, when the souq is at its liveliest. See our private Muscat tours for more stops.

Day 2: choose one.
- Nizwa: the fort, the old souq and, on Fridays, the goat market. About 1.5 hours from Muscat.

- Wadi Shab: emerald pools and a hidden waterfall cave. About 2 hours from Muscat, with an 8-hour private trip.

- Jebel Akhdar: terraced gardens and cool mountain air. About 2 hours from Muscat.

Why families and groups book private
You travel in your own vehicle, at your own pace, with no shared bus and no fixed group schedule. Because the price is per vehicle, larger families pay far less per person than on a per-seat tour.
