5.00It was a blast We visit Muscat for quick getaway weekend myself and my two kids Don’t know where to start. We stayed in Kampenski. The best thing about the stay was the friendly and courteous staff. True hospitality and they were very accommodating to our requests First day we stayed local in Muscat. We went to range shooting and race kart with the kids The tour next day was let by Bo Mohammad (Said Al kiyumi). He had wealth of historical knowledge. He was very kind and respectful. He lead us to few attraction points including boggy rides, desert adventures and visiting the famous (Um Saeed/Um Ali). We finished the day eating one of the best Yemeni food before driving us back to the hotel. It was short but was awesome weekend . Highly recommend it

5.00I had a wonderful experience with Oman Landscape Tours, this time on a private tour to Wadi Bani Khalid and for sunset at the Wahiba Sands—an experience I will never forget. The day was perfectly planned, with a great balance between nature, relaxation, and unforgettable scenery. Wadi Bani Khalid was simply stunning: crystal-clear water, dramatic rock formations, and enough time to truly enjoy the place without feeling rushed. Ending the day with sunset in the Wahiba Sands was pure magic—the silence, the colors of the dunes, and the changing light created an incredibly powerful moment. Ms Analiza did an outstanding job with the organization. Everything ran smoothly, and the itinerary felt thoughtful and seamless, allowing me to fully relax and enjoy the experience. And my guide, Mr. Badar, made all the difference. His knowledge, kindness, and calm presence turned the tour into something truly special. He shared insights about the desert, the landscape, and Omani culture, while always making sure I was comfortable and enjoying every moment. This tour was not just about visiting beautiful places—it was about experiencing them in a meaningful and authentic way. Oman Landscape Tours consistently delivers high-quality, private experiences, and I would recommend them without hesitation. An unforgettable day, from the cool waters of Wadi Bani Khalid to the golden silence of the desert at sunset.

5.00Very nice experience! Said Al kiyumi guided us through the whole experience: first to Wadi Bani Khalid, then to a classic Bedouin shelter (where we also had the chance to ride camels) to taste typical coffee and dates, and finally on the dunes of the Wahiba Sand to watch the sunset and take pictures. Said answered all our questions and told us about different peculiarities of Oman. Recommended!

5.00We chose this tuer by searching online and trusting the great reviews. Our Said guide picked us up directly from the hotel and we left towards Wadi Bani Khalid for a refreshing bath. During the trip Said proved to be a great connoisseur of local history and traditions, always very available to answer any questions, delighted us with small pearls of curiosity. After a visit to Wadi and a typical lunch, the tour ended with a spectacular sunset over the soft sands of the Wahiba Sands. So finally, super recommended tuor ❤️🇴🇲
