I had an incredible experience on the Private Historical Muscat Sunset Tour. Sailing along the coastline, exploring old Muscat landmarks, and watching the sun set behind the mountains was unforgettable. The exclusive boat made it private and relaxing. Guides were knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights into Omani culture. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Muscat
