Excursion Overview
This afternoon at 4pm you will be met at the Al Fahidi Metro Station by your local guide, and for the next few hours you'll be taken on a delicious culinary walking tour of the city. Stroll through the cobbled streets of older neighbourhoods passing traditional and curios stores with your informative and entertaining guide. Away from the 5-star restaurants, experience this vibrant area by sampling dates, samosas and Arabic sweets, and passing fresh fish trading shops. You will learn about local culture whilst visiting the textile souk, a traditional abaya store and an oud perfume shop, before finally stopping for a meal and fruit mocktail at a classic street food canteen-style restaurant, considered as a hidden gem of the city. The guide will then leave you to enjoy the rest of the evening at your leisure.

From our very first contact with Emma she listened carefully to what we wanted and put together a fabulous Oman holiday for us. Our expectations, and hopes, were high and our trip exceeded them. We travelled from city to town, mountain to desert, inland and on the coast, staying in a variety of hotels. The information and suggestions we were given really enhanced our time. Everything was wonderful! I cannot imagine a better trip to Oman than we had, and we owe a huge debt of gratitude to Emma for all the knowledge and expertise she brought to planning our holiday.

A truly wonderful trip to Oman, curated by Catherine of Holiday Architects. Oman exceeded our expectations on all levels and the trip that was put together was perfect. enough variety to be really interesting but not too rushed to be unable to enjoy it. Can not recommend the country and HA enough.
