Every trip is private and built around you: your dates, your pace and your budget. Choose a guided tour with your own guide, or a self-drive trip with your car delivered and our team a call away.

I had the best time renting a roof box/ FJ cruiser from Happy Travels! Everything was so well organised and they had thought about every little detail. All the staff are really kind and easy to reach out to. Would definitely use them again and would recommend!

If you already took the decision to travel to Oman, you are already mid way to an extraordinary experience. Now leave it to Happy Travel to arrange your tour and you’ll make the best out of your stay! Aziz and his team are amazingly creative and will allow you to discover this amazing country in the best possible way! Thanks to them you will be able to go further than normal tourists. Few Examples: while most of the tourists only stay in the desert, you will cross it in your own car, guided by a local guide. When normal tourists are already more than happy to do snorkelling on the Islands close to Muscat, you will have the chance to spend the night on it, alone with your family and a guide. And on top, Aziz and his team will always be available to assist or to advise whatever happens during your stay! Happy travel are also the only-ones that could combine a tour with a roof tent for four persons together with some overnight in B&B. So it is a no-brainer: successful holidays in Oman are guaranteed with Happy travel!

We had an amazing experience with Happy Travels and couldn’t be happier with our choice. We rented a car with a rooftop tent to travel around Oman for 10 days, and from the very beginning everything was easy and well taken care of. Not only did they provide us with a great vehicle, but they also gave us excellent advice on which places to visit, how to organize the route, and in which order to see different areas. What really made the difference was the support during the trip. Whenever we had a question, which road to take, whether a place was worth visiting, or how to adapt our plans they were always available to help and share their honest opinion. Knowing that someone was there on the other side made the whole journey much more relaxed and enjoyable. The attention we received was outstanding from start to finish. We are super happy with the experience and would 100% recommend Happy Travels to anyone planning a trip to Iceland. We would definitely repeat with them without any doubt!

Nous avons fait un magnifique voyage de 10j dans ce pays superbe et très accueillant. Happy Travels a toujours été à l'écoute et a su adapter le circuit en fonction de nos envies. Notre guide / chauffeur, très sympathique et toujours disponible, nous a expliqué avec beaucoup d'intérêt l'histoire de ce pays et il nous l'a fait découvrir au travers des randonnées, villages, wadis, désert .... de façon magnifique. Tout s'est super bien passé. Je ne peux que recommander cette agence pour une découverte de cette très belle destination. Merci à Hapy Travels.

Superb performance! I organized 3 days in Musandam with Jade. We were delighted with the service, both for the hotel (a beautiful setting out of time) and for the outings organized with a local provider: boat day in the fjords, day in the mountains and visit the city with a Francophone guide. I recommend +++!

tailor made, perfectly organized family trip I contacted Happy Travels Oman via email to organize my family trip during Christmas holiday 2023. Since first email they were very professional in providing exhaustive information about possible itineriaries and costs. They helped to tailor-made the trip to the need of my family. Forst day we swam with sea turtles and had an indimendicable spped boat tour and sunset just in front of Muscat. the following days we visited Muscat, desert , mountains and Wadi with a fantastic guide Mohamed Alrasbi. Then, with a flight connection to the North, we visited the Musandam Region and we had a fantastic dhow cruise on the fiord and mountain safari. Finally, another flight to go to the South, Salalah, with beach, sea and more visits of mountains, wadi, springs and spectacular routes on the coast. The 3 parts of my trip were perfectly organized, with professional and very kind guides. I can highly recommend Happy Travels Oman

Highly Recommended! My son and I just returned from an incredible trip to Oman. Nazmeen patiently worked with me to create a tailored itinerary that included a tour of Muscat, the Nizwa Friday market, Wahiba Sands, Jebel Shams, Ras Al Hadd, Jebel Akhdar, Wadi Shab and Daymaniyta Island. Nazmeen helped create the itinerary and answered all of my questions, providing recommendations about hotels, tours, etc. Oman is a uniquely beautiful country with adventurous activities and friendly people. We were picked up at the airport by Aziz, whose enthusiasm set the tone for our trip. But what really made our trip special was our exceptional driver/guide, Sultan. Sultan generously shared his love of Oman through information about the country and the sights we visited as well as answering our questions about the culture. He quickly understood our desire to hike and extended time on trails whenever possible. He selected great restaurants that allowed us to experience local Omani food, which we loved. We enjoyed spending our days with him and appreciated his efforts to ensure an outstanding trip.

great and wonderful trip My 12-day trip through north/northeast of Oman was an unforgettable and wonderful journey thanks to Happy Travels Oman. We went to Muscat, Wadi Bani Khalid, Wahiba Sands Desert, Misfat Al Arbyeen, Al Hamra, Jebel Shams, Nizwa, Jebel Akhdar and Daymanniyat Islands. Monika was my contact person for the travel booking. Her enthusiasm for the country is really inspiring and as she knows the country very well, there were no questions left unanswered about the itinerary, culture, etc. Hussain was my driver and guide during the trip. We had a 4 x 4 jeep and I felt completely comfortable and safe. I was very impressed by his cheerful manner and his joy in telling about his country. I was also able to get to know the Omani helpfulness, for which I thank him very much. At any time for any request all members of Happy Travels Oman were very helpful, competent and always very friendly. It was a great trip!

Happy Travels Delivered the Ultimate Oman Experience My wife and I recently returned from a fantastic trip to Oman. Our itinerary included Golf and Diving in Muscat and a 5 night desert and mountain trip. Happy travels did an outstanding job of organizing the trip and recommending hotels and other service suppliers. During the desert and Mountain section of the trip we were accompanied by Nasser who is a truly exceptional guide. Nasser is extremely knowledgeable about the history and context in Oman and takes real pleasure in sharing his passion with his clients. He is also very well organized and always knows the best places to stop and visit including plenty of interaction with the local population. The team at Happy Travels were super friendly and responsive to any requests to amend the itinerary.

Questions travellers ask

Can't find your answer? Message us on WhatsApp.

When is the best time to visit Oman?

October to April, when days are warm rather than hot. From late June to September, Salalah in the south turns green during the khareef season. See our month-by-month guide.

Do I need a visa for Oman?

Citizens of many countries, including the EU, Switzerland and the UK, can visit Oman visa-free for up to 14 days with a passport valid for at least six months. Rules can change, so please check before you travel. We are happy to help.

Are your tours private?

Yes. Every tour is private for your family or group. On guided tours you have your own guide and vehicle; on self-drive tours you have your own car and our team on call.

Which languages do your guides speak?

English, French and Italian. Other languages can be arranged on request, subject to availability.

Is Oman good for families?

Yes. Oman is one of the safest countries in the region, and our Family Adventure tour keeps drives short and days child-friendly. Child seats are available on request.

How do I pay?

By bank transfer or payment link (bank fees apply). Payment is due no later than 31 days before arrival. There is no fixed deposit: often you can pay the full amount in one transfer, so you pay the bank fees only once. Your quote confirms the payment schedule and includes our full booking and cancellation terms.
