Wahiba Sands
Your journey begins with an exhilarating 4x4 drive. You'll experience the stunning contrast between the rugged, golden dunes, and serene wadi. This tour offers an authentic local experience, with guides who can explain everything in your preferred language. This adventure will connect you with Oman’s rich culture and natural wonders. After a scenic 3-hour drive from Muscat, you’ll arrive at this picturesque oasis nestled in the mountains. Here, you’ll see turquoise pools surrounded by palm trees and dramatic cliffs. You can explore the wadi’s hidden trails, or relax and soak in the peaceful atmosphere. Next is Omani Desert. A 1hr. drive from wadi will bring you to the vast, rolling dunes of the Omani desert. Stepping onto the soft, warm sand for the first time is a magical experience—you’ll feel the immensity of the desert and the timelessness of the landscape. You’ll have the chance to explore the dunes, take in the silence of the desert, and experience the awe of nature’s grandeur.

It was the second trip we made with Issam, after we were already very enthusiastic about him at the first one and learned a lot about Oman also the inhabitants and also came to places where no tourists are staying. Also on the second trip to Wadi Bani Khalid and then to the Rimal Al Wahiba desert it was a great experience with Issam again. Issam tells a lot of interesting things about life in Oman as well as about the areas visited. He is also very interested in hearing from us how we experience his homeland and how we live. He also took us in the desert to places where hardly any other tourists were. It was a great combination of wadi and then desert including sunset. It was a great atmosphere in both regions and Issam did everything to make it an unforgettable experience. Issam speaks very good German and also drives by car in such a way that you do not have to be afraid, even in the desert in the dunes. We can highly recommend Issam as a guide, is 100% reliable and it was a very friendly dealing with him.

We had an unforgettable day at Wadi Bani Khalid and in the dunes of the Wahiba Sands desert - and we owe this 100% to our guide Issam, who is not only an excellent chauffeur, very knowledgeable guide and brilliant entertainer, but also extremely flexible to all our wishes and showed us a piece of authentic Oman off the beaten track (even in a culinary sense - we now know what fried dromedary tastes like!). He even entrusted us with his car to jet across the dunes in the desert. And he speaks excellent German - among countless other languages! It was great fun to spend the day with him, we learned a lot, experienced, saw and laughed and were absolutely thrilled. We can highly recommend him!

Issam speaks 12 languages and is incredibly well versed. We had met him in the mountains and got valuable tips from him.

Issam was our Guide, for our Honeymoon. We were immediately impressed by his absolute and perfect knowledge of the Italian language. We were on tour with another couple. He immediately managed to create a family atmosphere, and it was just like that for 8 days. He manages to transmit his passion for his land and its traditions. Absolutely recommended!

I highly recommend our friend Issam! In addition to being a great guide, he knows many places and his sense of speaking many languages makes communication much easier! We became friends and will definitely see each other again!

As for us we would like to repeat the experience. Our agency in Milan Jackie'o Trips did a great job. Issam, Cultured Guide , excellent knowledge of our language and always available. Thank you.

Oman is a country to visit for many reasons. Spectacular landscapes; a culture to know; friendly people. The accompanying team was absolutely up to the role: available to meet the different needs gradually presented; decisive in the management of critical issues. In particular the local Guide, Issam, was a valuable intermediary during the various purchases, both to find what we needed. Moreover, a peculiar characteristic of his is his multilingual mastery which, allowing him to interact with a great cultural diversity, consequently also makes him very available to human contact.
