Guided Tours in Oman

Written by: Philip Eichkorn Last updated at: May 21, 2025

For travelers who prefer a very individual and personal approach, there is also the option to take a guided tour in Oman. A local guide, speaking either English or German, leads the guests along a pre-determined route through the country. Such a journey provides culturally interested vacationers with a deep insight into Oman's history and small details of the Omani lifestyle.

Due to years of professional experience, many guides know some insider tips that one would not come across alone. Traveling through Oman in this way is particularly suitable for vacationers for whom organization and maximum comfort are important. English and German-speaking guides are available year-round, although the latter are usually a bit more expensive due to their higher qualifications.

In the underwater world along the Omani coasts of the Indian Ocean, you can find whales and dolphins from the northern region Musandam to the southern region of Dhofar. These mammals evolved about 50 million years ago in our world's oceans. The biggest challenge for these animals was to adapt breathing to life in water. Nature solved this problem by developing nostrils into what are called blowholes on the top of the head. Movement was optimized by their streamlined bodies. The tail fin and dorsal fin developed for navigation. The fur needed on land was no longer necessary and was replaced by ...
