Abu Osama and Rasmi Al-Momen, 8 hours in Khobar / Dammam / Qatif

Reviewed November 22, 2019

We toured for 8 hours with Abu Osama and Rasmi on our first ever trip to the middle east. The tour included Tarout Island and it's castle, a personal meet and greet with an excellent local artist Karieemh Al Massiri in her private home studio, a VIP experience at the Al Qatif flower exhibition, a personal tour of the maritime museum on the coast near the ruined fort, and capping off with an authentic family style eat with your hands on the floor dinner.

Rasmi was very knowledgeable about the area and its history and handled most of the talking in English. Abu Osama helped as the driver and communicating with the locals, which was at times a full time job!

Our only real complaint was that pricing could be a bit more transparent, both for us and for the guides. Essentially, plan to pay cash (SAR) up front and plan to have money available for the dinner as this is not included. Aside from that, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and have already recommended the tour to another American in Khobar.

Jubbah and Hail with Majeed - A Day We Will Never Forget

Reviewed November 2, 2019

My family and I had a wonderful time in Jubbah and Hail with our guide Majeed. He introduced us to aspects of Saudi culture and history we were unaware of,  and went out of his way to make sure we had the best experience possible,  even helping us out with a couple of very challenging situations a few days after our tour had ended . We are extremely grateful for this.  Majeed's expertise, enthusiasm and kindness made our day out in Hail and Jubbah a day we will never forget. I would recommend Majeed to anyone planning on visiting Hail area in the near future.

Salman is the Perfect Guide!

Reviewed February 23, 2019

I cannot imagine a better guide than my guide, Salman, for introducing me to the city of Riyadh's cultural and historical sites.  He is not only a genuine and friendly person with a lot of energy and enthusiasm, he is intelligent and articulate in showing a guest from outside of the region (in my case, from the United States) of what makes Saudi Arabia's culture unique. No question or discussion was off limits, and I found myself being introduced to all kinds of interesting people, places, and FOOD, with this elegant and warm-hearted teacher. Thank you, Salman!
