This tour was a real highlight on our Oman trip. Beginning with great communication ahead, many informative details about the several stops and finding the very best spot in the desert for enjoying the sunset - Munir was just the perfekt guide. Really recommend going with him :)

It was a top experience with our guide Muneer! We have seen the beautiful Wadi Beni Khalid, the beautiful water, the mountains and rain. Then to a restaurant where we were provided with a delicious lunch. Lastly, we were taken to the desert where we enjoyed a ride on the camels and could still take pictures with the beautiful sunset. The guide also talked clear and understandable English and Arabic. All in all, highly recommended for anyone who wants a nice day away in Oman!

A stunning expanse of dunes stretching as far as the eye can see. Wahiba Sands is like something out of a dream. We were mesmerized watching the light wind gently shape the very top layer of sand, creating little eddies, soft pools, and shifting mounds. Nature at its most peaceful and poetic. This unforgettable experience was made even better by our guide, Saif, who was incredibly kind, welcoming, and hospitable. We highly recommend Saif and Golden Desert Tours to anyone looking for a genuine and memorable desert adventure.

Wahiba Sands is a vast expanse of stunning, reddish sand dunes absolutely breathtaking! The shifting light over the dunes creates the perfect conditions for amazing photography. Our tour included a visit to a traditional Bedouin home, a camel ride, and the unforgettable experience of watching the sunset from the top of the dunes. A big thank you to our guide, Khalid, who is not only a safe and experienced driver, but also incredibly attentive and caring. He made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout the trip. If you're visiting Oman, ask for Khalid, you won’t regret it

We had never been to a desert before, so this was truly a spectacular experience from start to finish. Our journey began with a visit to Wadi Bani Khalid, where we swam in the beautiful natural pools and enjoyed a relaxing lunch before heading into the desert. Once in the dunes, we visited a Bedouin house, where we were warmly welcomed with traditional Omani coffee and dates. Next, we went for an amazing camel ride and watched a breathtaking sunset over the dunes—a moment we'll never forget. A huge thank you to our guide, Nasser, who was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the trip. We highly recommend both him and this company to anyone looking for an authentic desert experience!
