Amazing trip

5.00Adil was a superb guide for this full day trip from Muscat exploring Nakhal Fortress and hot spring and then experiencing the extraordinary off road drive up Wadi Bani Awf to the beautiful village of Bilad Sayt. No one visiting Oman should miss this experience. Adil was extremely interesting and informative and also very good company. We felt very safe being driven by him up and down this challenging road through the mountains. Star Tours were very efficient at booking this trip and we would certainly recommend Adil as a guide.
An essential from Oman.

4.00The place is spectacular, both the mountains, and the snake canyon that you see from different sides. Balad Sayt isn't as pretty as the enclave he's in. The Nakhal fort is very interesting and a show from outside. And even though the journey is long, especially the return. It's worth it. The guide was very attentive all the time and gave me very good explanations. And the impeccable car. Recomendable.

5.00I booked this trip directly with Star Tours Oman via email. The communication went easily and correctly. This tour takes you to the Hadjar Mountains with jaw-dropping views of the mountains. The village of Bilal Sayt is very picturesque. You must see it to believe it. Such a green oasis in the rugged landscape. We ended the trip with a visit to the Nakhal Fort. This is a beautiful fort in a fantastic landscape of mountains and thousands of palm trees. Thanks to my guide Ali who took me through the small mountain paths safely.

5.00A good scape for your families and loved ones. The beautiful desert was super amazing and the Bedouin very kind and we had sat and drink coffee with them while talking about their life in the middle of the desert. The Wadi Bani Khalid views was amazing too and our tour guide very helpful, and accommodating. Thank you and highly recommend.
