5.00We had a fantastic 5-star tour with our guide, Mr Khalid AlRaqadi. His expertise clearly displayed from his confident driving over the stunning sand dunes and his flawless time management, which ensured we saw everything at the ideal pace. The highlight was his guidance at Wadi Bani Khalid; he expertly navigated the trails to show us the breathtaking turquoise pools nestled in the dramatic canyon. He also shared fascinating insights into the local culture and helped us take beautiful photos, which deeply enriched the experience. His ability to blend thrilling adventure, cultural depth, and seamless logistics made for a perfect day. Highly professional and thoroughly recommend this tour and guide!
Wonderful day in the nature

5.00We booked for a trip from Muscat to visit Wadi Bani Khaled and a Sunset Desert Safari. We were collected from our hotel by Mr. Badar and had a great time with him. We enjoyed our time at the Wadi and he guided us through the entire route followed by a trip to the desert, with some dune fun and finishing off with some awesome Kahawa/Coffee and Dates. We had a grand time with Mr. Badar!

5.00We had a wonderful day with Amer. The Wadi Bany Khalid wasn’t too busy, and we had a great swim in the beautiful water. We really enjoyed jumping in from the rocks (the tour company kindly reminded me to have suitable clothes to swim in - covered arms and legs). After the Wadi we headed to the Bedouin house which was really interesting. Then we went to the dessert. Amer took us to some dunes for some fun for the boys in the sand, and to take some great photos! He’s an excellent photographer 😊 Then we headed to our camp, Nomadic Dessert Camp. I chose this camp as I wanted somewhere quiet (no quad bikes!), well into the dessert for dark skies, and a really authentic experience. It was exactly that. Wonderful hosts / owners and great service. A sky full of stars was incredible. We took a ‘dessert safari’ as an extra. Driving through the dunes, visiting baby camels and goats, catching and examining a little lizard, and taking in the magnificent sunset from on top of a dune. The boys enjoyed burying each other too! The food at the camp was really tasty and there was plenty of it. As a vegetarian I was well catered for. Before breakfast we took the short camel ride for 20 mins which was great fun. We saw that the camels are extremely well cared for and very gentle. The whole trip was wonderful.
Memorable day

5.00We had a memorable experience exploring Wadi Bani Khalid and Dessert along with warm hospitality at the Bedouin house. Thanks to our Tour guide Ahmed who was very knowledgeable and also took good care of us as we were travelling with my 4 year old daughter. He helped us walking in the Wadi and also took us to a good local restaurant for lunch. Nice coffee with prefect sunset in the Dessert. Highly recommend Ahmed. Thank you Oman Landscape tours for a memorable day.
Awesome start to my Oman adventure!

5.00We had a truly excellent day out with Said who was a fantastic guide. The desert was incredible, so exciting to drive along the sand and then visit the Bedouin home. The camel ride was especially fun. Wadi bani Khalid was beautiful and refreshing to swim at and very accessible . A wonderful day out which was made easy with this tour.
