      It was a fantastic experience- loved this trip! Said is an amazing local Omani guide, he is very knowledgeable, caring, humorous and helpful. The car journey with him wasn't boring at all, rather, lots of great conversations from local culture, food to region, fishing and social media etc. You can't find anyone better than him! He also has good taste on music playlists! Loved the Wadi walks, swimming, desert, sunrise watching, sand duns and local cuisines! Most importantly- the people we met on this trip are all friendly and welcoming! Highly recommend this trip, and Said as your trustworthy guide! 5 stars!

      See Oman! Excellent tour, personal touch

      Mr. Nasser and Choolo Tours ran a wonderful itinerary for our family, including 9 and 11 year old children. The tour involves a lot of driving, including in mountains and desert. Mr. Nasser and his 4WD vehicle are safe and completely up to the task. We also explored Wadi Shab and Wadi Bani Khaled. Mr. Nasser joined us for both swims and helped keep an eye on the kids in the water, which was appreciated. Finally, Mr. Nasser is a a great representative for his country and culture. Do visit OMAN and please consider his company.

      An absolutely amazing tour

      Nikolai_K, Feb 2025
      I think this is one of the coolest tours I've ever done while travelling. We got to see so many beautiful destinations. The desert camping was really a more luxury studio experience in the desert (which we enjoyed). And the wadis, caves, and hiking felt truly special. I definitely recommend this tour!

      Choolo Tours by Nasser created amazing memories that will last a life time

      Michael_L, Jan 2025
      Nasser and Abdullah From Choolo Tours were an amazing team that took us on one of the most memorable adventures ever. We had an absolute blast at the two wadis (Wadi Bani Khalid and Wadi Shah). Even though both wadis were very crowded, Nasser knew exactly where to get in and how to navigate through the throng of people. The desert camp was really hotel in the desert, but well worth the trip and absolutely great food and beautiful sunset and sunrise. I highly recommend booking with Nasser at Choolo tours. Well worth the cost, producing memories that will last a life time. He made us feel like family!

      The hike to the wadi was a bit treacherous but the water was lovely. The overnight stay in the desert was awesome and we loved the crazy driving in the dunes.

      Just go! You will never experience anything like this !

      michaelseaman58, Sep 2024
      Thank you Nasser! This tour was probably the best 2 days of 7 weeks traveling! Comfortable, no rush, taking our time to enjoy all the wadi’s and desert Oman has to offer. Many others we saw did not have a guide show you hidden parts of the wadis and waterfalls , caves or herbs to watch a glorious sunset over the desert ! And then to find great places for lunch each day! Again Thankyou Nasser !

      Love the wadis

      Great way to do the wadis and desert in two days as a solo. The dessert accommodations were top notch.

      Two days full of emotions to really see the best of the naturalistic part of Oman in the company of Nasser who made us discover and live hidden pearls thanks to his experience. Always available and very kind even to accommodate small requests. Fantastic videos and photos he gave us

      Our guide Abdullah was...

      Bettina_W, Feb 2026
      Our guide Abdullah was exceptional in every way. Not only did he manage to create an extremely interesting and content-based program, but he impressed us above all with his exceptionally courteous and sensitive nature. He always answered questions in depth, reflectively and comprehensively – with tangible expertise and great joy in dialogue. At the same time, he had a remarkable sense of neither overloading nor overwhelming us. One always had the impression that he was very conscious of his guests: If you show strong interest in content, it opens up proactively, explains background, cultural contexts and historical details with impressive clarity. If, on the other hand, you want more peace and quiet in phases, he respectfully withdraws and thus creates a pleasantly balanced atmosphere. This fine sense may correspond to Omani culture – but it is above all an expression of his personal, extremely pleasant nature. You want such guides when you travel: professionally excellent, authentically human and with a sure sense of the right amount. The two days were not only entertaining and informative, but also interpersonally enriching and culturally demanding. Bravo – and a big thank you to Abdullah!

      Die Wadis waren genau so schön und beeindrucken, wie die Wüste. Das kühle nass war eine willkomme Abwechslung. Und für die abenteuerlustigen die Sprünge in die Tiefe und auch der Kamelritt in den Sonnenaufgang. Wir haben uns rund um wohlgefühlt. Unser Guide wusste gut Bescheid, ging auf Wünsche ein und war sehr freundlich. Danke
