Due to last-minute participant changes, only the guide/owner Yahia and I went on the trip. First stop was at Bimmah Sinkhole where I had some nice fish therapy for feet. After traditional and tasty Omanese lunch we headed at Wadi Shab. That place was a real gem! The hike to the pools was fun. We arrived at the desert camp just before sunset. We climbed up to the top of the dunes. It was surprisingly strenuous, but the magic of the sunset made it all worthwhile. After that Yahia prepared a delicious barbeque dinner for us. I slept very well in the desert camp under two blankets, wearing woolen layers. Early in the morning, we returned to the dunes to admire the indescribably beautiful sunrise. On the second day we visited Wadi Bani, which is also an adorable Oasis. It is more accessible to everyone and offers more services for visitors than Wadi Shab. I´m quite an experienced solo traveler, but I still gained new experiences from this trip. I felt safe and comfortable the whole time, and I was very well looked after. Since Yahia was cultured and cosmopolitan, we had some really interesting conversations about life in general. I warmly recommend this tour.

The beginning of Oman

A glimpse into Oman's most beautiful natural attractions

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. Even though the group became just the two of us, it turned into something really special — and I’m so glad you felt that too you handled everything like a champion! That dune climb before sunset is never as easy as it looks, but as you said… the view always pays it back in full. I’m happy you felt safe, comfortable, and well looked after. That’s always my top priority. And I truly enjoyed our conversations — it’s not every day I get to exchange thoughts about life, travel, and culture with such an experienced solo traveler. Thank you again for your warm recommendation. You will always be welcome back in Oman — the dunes will be waiting.

I had a great experience...

Xiaosong_D, Feb 2026

I had a great experience on this tour. The itinerary was thoughtfully put together. The uniqueness was what attracted me to sign up in the first place. The pace was executed and managed very well along the way. I was paired with another solo traveler and we were taken very good care of by our great guide Yahia, the owner of the tour company. I will forever treasure the fond memories from this tour and hope the new friendships gained from this trip will last a long time.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Wishing you many more adventures ahead, and you’ll always be welcome to join us again anytime

This activity is highly...

KANNA_T, Jan 2026

This activity is highly recommended. The guide showed us the best photo spots, allowing us to capture the perfect shots. They also tailored the experience to suit each guest, so we were able to enjoy the best possible experience at every location. In particular, the overnight stay in the desert was truly amazing and unlike anything I have ever experienced before. They took us to the best spots for both sunset and sunrise, making it an unforgettable experience. We also had the chance to enjoy delicious Middle Eastern cuisine during the meals.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you very much for your wonderful review and recommendation. We’re truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the experience and that the photo spots, personalized approach, and overall itinerary met your expectations. The overnight desert stay, especially the sunset and sunrise moments, is something we always aim to make special, so it means a lot to know it was unforgettable for you. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you again for another memorable experience in Oman

Fantastic, enjoyable experience

Shuwei_Z, Dec 2025

I was looking for a unique experience in the Omani desert and I found one through this tour. There were many options to choose from various online marketing platforms for tours but this was the only overnight camping I found. Yahia and Alves (I apologise if I spelt his name wrongly) brought me on this tour. I was contacted before the start of the tour and obtained useful tips to prepare myself for this overnight desert experience that I was new to. I was picked up on time and travelled in a comfortable vehicle that was very well equipped for the journey ahead. Cold drinks and snacks were available throughout the journey. During the journey, I was introduced to various Omani cuisine which i had been unfamiliar about, truly making me feel welcomed, freshly off my arrival flight. We had barbecued food for dinner after setting up camp at the desert campsite - nothing fanciful but yet meticulously and sincerely prepared to provide a homely experience. We had comfortable chairs and provided with mattress and blankets within the sleeping tents. Although cold outside, it was a comfortable overnight rest. Yahia was also an excellent driver. The desert driving looked very challenging to me and he was able to navigate this effortlessly. Both of them were very friendly throughout the journey and gave me the impression of safety and care as a solo traveller in this part of the world I’ve never been to. I had the opportunity to take many nice photos and I will certainly recommend this tour to my friends who are coming over.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

We hope to welcome you or your friends back to Oman in the future for more adventures

Yahia was an amazing...

Yahia was an amazing guide. He was very knowledgeable and a great cook too! The tour was very well organized and all of the sites we saw were amazing. Would definitely recommend this for anyone who wants to see Oman but only has a weekend.

Unique Experience and Nice Guide

POYIN_T, Nov 2024

A very very unique and unforgettable experience in the Oasis and Desert. The first day was a visit to Wadi Shab for a hike and swim. The water was clear and beautiful. The night we stayed in the desert for a BBQ dinner, and enjoyed the stunning sunrise scenery from the peaceful atmosphere on the next morning. The guide was friendly and helpful all along. Highly recommended!!

Response from Host, Nov 2024
