The trip was absolutely wonderful! Our tour guide, Abu Hamza, was so patient and kind — he explained everything in detail and took us everywhere, making sure we didn’t miss a thing. The waterfalls hadn’t filled up yet because we visited in July, but all the other activities were still there and we really enjoyed them. Overall, it was a beautiful experience
Great Salalah tour

This was a great experience and our guide was from the area and provided a lot of local information. We saw the Taqah cliff, so many camels, a picnic lunch, and the Samhan mountain and Wadi Darbat. Would recommend!

The tour was excellent and amazing. In addition to great scenic impressions, Hossein gave an excellent overview of the history and culture of Dhofar in a short time.

This tour and our tour guide, Momen, far exceeded any expectations we had of our day in Salalah. He showed us Salalah’s beautiful beaches, resorts, and surrounding villages. Then we drove through the mountainous region where camels roamed free, waterfalls flowed into turquoise pools, and clouds danced around sheer rock-faced cliffs. We saw massive sinkholes, the stately Baobab trees and experienced the amazing location of gravity that had enough force, it pulled our car across the pavement! Momen introduced us to Arabian coffee with dates and the delectable taste of fire grilled camel with warm pita bread and savory humus. We then stopped at a lovely roadside fruit stand where Momen ordered freshly-cut coconuts, and we sipped the refreshing juice then snacked on its fresh, meaty interior. We loved our time in Salalah almost as much as we loved Momen. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience, we can’t recommend him and this tour enough!!
Very good experience

Very nice ride! We did it in December, very pleasant weather and very few tourists. The landscapes are very beautiful and impressive. Hamid is an excellent guide, full of anecdotes and information to give us. Full of kindness, it makes this tour all the more authentic. We highly recommend!
