Approximately at 11:00 AM, we depart Muscat, we drive towards Wadi Bani Khalid. This is one of the biggest and most beautiful wadis that Oman is famous for. The wadi canyon is impressive, with its amazing steep walls and breathtaking crystal-clear water pools it is awesome to look at on its own. However, one can also enjoy a swim in the relaxing cool freshwater pool or just sunbathe.

Went to this guided tour on 26th Jan, and honestly it was one of the best decisions I took when in Oman. Our tour guide Ahmed made sure we felt at ease, and was always ready to answer to all our queries. Shout out to Ahmed for being such a great host. Talking about the attractions covered in this trip, so the trip takes about 10hrs in total, from pick up to drop. The first thing we explored was Wadi Bin Khaled which is about 150 kms from Muscat and takes about 1 hrs 50 mins to reach. We were provided ample time to explore the Wadi, which has 3 pools and a small cave. Talking about Wadi, I was told undoubtedly Wadi Saab is the best Wadi in Oman, but if you would like to experience a Wadi without the trekking, then Wadi Bin Khaled is the place to be. Post the Wadi, we headed to a Pakistani Restaurant, where we had a delicious lunch at reasonable price. Around 3:30-3:45pm we started for Wahiba Sands, and was there around 4:45 pm. While on the way our guide Ahmed made sure to show us how a local lives in a desert, the different camps in the desert and also where the horse and camel racing takes place. Post that we did sand dune bashing and then parked for the best attraction, which was saved for the last. The sunset at Wahiba sands. The sunset in Wahiba is amazing and worth a watch. If going to Wahiba, my suggestion would be to go for the sunset tour, even though a bit expensive, but it's worth the extra penny. Note: Activities like ATV, Sand Boarding, camel riding is not included and will require extra payment. It would be nice to have sand board as part of the experience.
Experience was good was able to cover all the places within desired time and he is very knowledgeable

It was a fantastic experience! Fauzi was very good, he made us discover the wonders of Oman. First stop Wadi Bani Khalid in which he accompanied us inside a beautiful cave and then take a beautiful bath. Second stop in a Bedouin village and to conclude magnificent sunset in the desert. Finally he made us taste the camel arrosticini.
