Great experience

14-Feb-2024

Everything was perfect in every detail, from the planning of our 5 days tour, done by Abhishek, to the tour itself. Communication with Abhishek was excellent. Our guide and driver Mohammed was very kind, he has shown us the country with emphasis and passion, in a very professional manner. He teaches us about Omani culture and he was always available for us so we felt very comfortable at any time. We also had a lot of fun with him. Our trip was really amazing thanks to AFAQ travel which we highly recommend. Oman is a wonderful country with great people!

Our tour was excellently organised! Syed was very responsive and helpful, and he did a fantastic job helping us put together exactly the tour that we wanted. Special thanks for our amazing time in Oman go to our driver Dawood, who was exceptional! He was experienced, knowledgeable and his energy was fantastic! I am sure our experience wouldn't be the same without Dawood!
