Desert Experience: Wahiba Sands & Wadi Bani Khalid Full-Day Tour
Overview
Available languages
Have you ever thought of attending a desert where you can explore the boundless sea of sand and feel the baking temperatures on your own? If your answer is yes, so the Wahiba Wilderness Tour is just for you!
Cross the desert dunes by 4WD vehicle, and experience the adrenaline rush of driving across the rugged terrain in an off-road mode of transport. Make your way to the Wahiba Sands to see the traditional homes of the desert nomads and Bedouin tribes.
Keep a look-out for the nomads as they move through the desert with their camels. Visit a Bedouin home in the middle of the desert, and contrast the arid landscape with the clear, blue waters of Wadi Bani Khalid.
Enjoy a relaxing siesta in the shade of the palm trees, and catch a glimpse of the pretty villages scattered across the slopes of the wadi. Marvel at how the houses cling precariously to the rugged mountain side. Bring your swimming costume to take a dip in the inviting waters!

1.0Just terrible. Our guide Aseel was all the time at his phone, explained nothing. He didnt plan anything well. "Here was a restaurant but i cant find" i mean are you really a guide? - well, result; he bring us to a bad place where we couldnt eat anything. Then when we went to desert, the car stucked at the beginning, have to wait around 20 min.. and guess what: we didnt even go there and he just drive us out; saying the tour is after the camel ride finished. Im like what?! We didnt even see anything. After i complain and said i want go inside the desert, he was about to take us to 1,5h distanced place. Well, hello, its almost getting dark, can you not just drive us here nearby any place? After i complain again he drive back and take us to desert. He just didnt care about the schedule and was always at his phone. Kinda pushed us too much to go to tea house and camel ride, WE JUST DONT WANT CUZ YOU RUINED OUR DAY. HE WAS VERY RUDE. Asking my cousin "Are you muslim?" (She covers her hair!?) My cousin said yes. He: "Are you sure you are muslim?" I mean what kind of rudeness is that! We literally was shocked! We are from Turkey! My cousin covers her hair and i dont - freedom! He looked to me and said: here in oman if a wife doesnt cover her hair the husband will kill her. My respond: i will kill the husband! So respectless, so shamefull, and no planning! He ruined our day!
Very well organised tour....

5.0Very well organised tour. Fahad was a very knowledgable and caring guide and a skilled driver. Seeing the local nomads, visiting the sand dunes and desert and having the adrenaline experience when going in 4x4 vehicle through the sand dunes was just fantastic.
Amazing experience

5.0We had an amazing experience with our guide Ilya! He told us everything about the Muscat City, about the desert and oasis. We had a pleasant conversation during the whole day, some funny action in the desert and got a nice lunch at the oasis. 10/10 would recommend!
