Outstanding tour with our...

Outstanding tour with our guide Mohammed. Very friendly, accomodating and patient. We travelled with 4 people total in a clean and comfortable 4X4. Stopped multiple times along the way for breakfast, lunch, snacks, tea. We stayed in the desert way longer than planned and got to see a complementary unplanned sunset!

Beautiful sands, awesome guide

I thoroughly enjoyed every part of this experience, from the road trip and getting to talk to our super knowledgeable and friendly guide Qais, to the wadi where we got to take a dip in the clear waters and get my feet exfoliated by little fishies (optional but I recommend), to my favourite part of going to the desert sands and just absorbing the beauty of it at sunset

Try a private desert tour

The tour operator kindly offered an option to start our hotel a bit later at 10:30 am to see the sunset in the dunes. The driver/guide was so kind, thoughtful and organised that he chose the best position and timing to enjoy the wadi canyon and the sunset driving in the dunes. He explained Omani and Islamic culture along the way and gave us time to break and rest from time to time on the way.

Wonderful tour with our guide Fauzi

We had an absolutely fabulous day with our guide and driver, Fauzi. He was very professional and friendly and ensured we had a comfortable and safe trip whilst maximising our enjoyment. Wadi Bani Khalid was beautiful and the quite strenuous trip into the caves guided by Fauzi was rewarding. The visit to the Wahiba Sands was amazing - we visited a bedouin village before making our way up to the top of the dunes in the 4x4 with Fauzi's expert driving. We had opted for the 10.30am start from Muscat which allowed us to see the sunset over the dunes - truly breathtaking. We are most grateful to Fauzi for making this such a memorable trip.

I went with my sister on this one and it was amazing. The guide was great and we engaged in a lot of conversations about the history and culture. The desert is amazing and the Wadi was a nice hike. The guide was very helpful and even stopped when we wanted to for ice cream and some local food he wanted to introduce us to. 10/10. They also picked us off and returned us to our hotel. All in all it was the highlight of our Oman trip

Water and desert combined to make a great day

The day started with Wadi Bani Khalid, which to me was just so so as I had been to Wadi Shab, which I found more adventurous and memorable. And most facilities were still being built and there was a lot of construction going on around the large pools near the entrance. Still, once further in the valley, it's still very relaxing in the more secluded pools. But the day really picked up at the Wahiba Desert... our guide Abdallah's mastery at the wheel absolutely made the experience as we glided over one dune after another. Sandsurfing added some good balance training to it and the sunset was just stunning. Remember to bring some good snacks to feed the camels who, I found out, love tortilla chips. And they are actually picky eaters. They are very gentle and friendly as well... absolutely majestic creatures. Good organisation and a dedicated guide topped off the experience.

An amazing trip with amazing guides!

The tour was an amazing experience, definitely worth its money. Our guides, Khalfan and Youssef, made the tour even more fun. They were very polite and informative, answering all of our questions about the landscape and Omani history. We definitely recommend this tour, especially with Khalfan and Youssef.
