Terrific day of: Desert, Wadi, Historic towns

5.00A whistle stop of several unique places near Muscat that create an unforgettable day with a knowledgeable guide. In addition to the desert (which our guide drove through with ease) and Wadi (beautiful waters), we visited a 400 year old town. Thank you Abdul! ☺️
Great trip

5.00Really good trip. Muneer was really welcoming and very attentive guide. We enjoyed both the dessert and the Wadi Bani. Took amazing pictures. The only negatives are - there was some construction work going on in the latter with a lot of noise. - Our guide was explicitly asking for 5 stars review and requesting screenshot of it. This shouldn’t happen, the reviews should be unbiased and free from any pressure - There was a small snake presented to us in the beduin house which was closed in a plastic bottle that was still (barely) alive. I think the trip would be equally good and entertaining without this Despite the above, we had really amazing time and the max score is well deserved. Oman and its people are very welcoming, warm and very friendly.
Beyond expectations!

5.00Had the best time with our 'fab' guide, Jihad! Right as we left, he had us try some local Omani chips and tea. We love trying local snacks and this was amazing. Went dune bashing.. Took a camel ride and feed the camels some bread. Thanks to Jihad, the camels came up and close and it was such a different experience. We then went to Wadi Bani Khalid and were encouraged to swim. It was magical. No crowds, crystal clear oasis water and some fish pedicure. Can never to back to 'normal' swimming pools now. Jihad's playful energy added to the fun. Some great conversations about Omani culture and lifestyle on our way back. Great restaurant recommendations for us foodies. What better way to experience a city than have well travelled and young local guide showing us around. Great day!

5.00Our trip to the dunes and the wadi was made special by our guide Jihad Almamari who gave us a taste of Oman. He kept us thoughouly engaged throughout the day with content about Omani culture and way of life. He ensured that we got the best of shopping and food by giving us a flavor of buffet and street food and did not leave any stone unturned to give us a amazing experience.
fantastic day with fantastic Omani guide

For lunch he made us taste the Omani cuisine... What can I say? Everything super. Recommended trip for those who do not want to worry about anything.. Relaxxx .. Thanks again to the driver Said for the explanations and for his super advice.. Marco and Alessio

5.00Khalil took us for the tour. We did all the activities he recommended. We started our trip with Wahiba Sands. Just beautiful sand dunes and the view. We did bike riding activities among the sands followed by beautiful wadis. Clean blue wadis for swim and we did some natural fish spa in the wadis. We took so many beautiful photographs taking with me beautiful memories. I once again thank Khalil for this beautiful day tour. And I highly recommend him.
Great memorable day out

5.00We had an amazing private tour with Khalil. He was highly professional, and had a lot of knowledge. He answered all questions we had. It was a lovely day out even with our little daughter. He was also very patient whilst she threw a tantrum (!) Highly recommend the tour and Khalil as your tour guide. Thank you very much for everything!
Fabulous day in the desert with a stop at the Wadi

5.00The day started smoothly, my guide, Khaled being on time and ready to guide me through the sands of Oman. He knows everything from geography, history, and local traditions, and this made the trip even more interesting. We passed a small souq where he explained the use of every item and their use in local traditions. We then went to a Bedouin house to chill and enjoy some Omani coffee. There is the option there to go Dune bashing, but I opted out. One can also go for a camel ride there. I opted to go in the Dunes for a photo session and just admire the Nature. Afterwards, we went to Wadi Bani Khaled to cool off. I never felt rushed, and could really take the time to swim and admire the lush vegetation of the Wadi. All in all it was all that I expected from such a tour.
Wonderful

Memorable trip with water and sand

5.00We had a wonderful time with our guide Said who took us to the wadi bin Khaled and the wahiba sands. He shared with us some very interesting stories about his homeland and was very kind especially by taking care of my mum as she is a little bit older and not good at walking. We would recommend this to anyone. We had a very nice day full of joy and memorable moments, thanks Said.
