Irchad, our Concierge, was absolutely brilliant. All of it was memorable. Oman is very special. This was our first trip with Original Travel and overall we were very impressed.

Lucy and Rogerio were very efficient and easy to deal with - it was a very smooth experience. We had a fascinating time and the arrangements were perfect. The Concierge were superb and completely reflected the fabulous hospitality of the Omanis. Irchad in Muscat was very interesting and Saeed in the desert was the perfect host. Having airport lounge access was certainly a bonus and the travel app works very well. Just a big thank you for a wonderful trip. I wish we were still there!

At the Alila Hotel in the mountains, we enjoyed stargazing, walks and yoga on the most spectacular platform overlooking the ravine, and swimming in the infinity pool. We also found our driver/guides very friendly, informative and reliable, and we enjoyed visiting the villages and Nizwa. Obviously, the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque was also very memorable!

The Alila was just amazing. As was staying in the desert. These two places made it a truly memorable experience. Everyone was very friendly and happy to talk to us about life in Oman. And the food was absolutely delicious! There were lots of memorable moments.

The holiday was perfect thank you. We fully relaxed in the Chedi then managed a good hike in the mountains. Just wish we could have stayed longer at the Alila!

Issy really is amazing at her job.  You are lucky to have her!  Genuinely no doubt that she is one of the main reasons that we have been coming back to you (and recommending you to our friends and family) since you organised our honeymoon in 2012.  Hoping that will continue!

We got back from Oman today and just wanted to thank you for helping us book the most incredible holiday. The location and hotel itself was just perfect and we had such a great week.
