Golden Highlands is a great company. As I live in Oman, I have first-hand experience of their service. I have participated in trips which Golden Highlands organized for individuals, small groups as well as larger groups. Of course, they know the places that are of interest for tourists, such as cultural highlights, nature, history,... But a unique feature of Golden Highlands is that they have hosted groups of international geologists and therefore are also familiar with the hidden gems of Oman's geology. And if you decide to use their "full package", you can enjoy the delicious food they cook. I can only recommend them.
