10/10 day trip / tour to desert sunset and Wadi Bani Khalid - Great tour out to Wadi Bani Khalid where our tour guide Jihad showed us a great swimming spot and we really enjoyed the trip there. Ride was very comfortable. Went on to see the sunset in the desert on the dunes, fed camels and went to see a Bedouin family and their house. Jihad made sure we enjoyed Omani food.

Excursion in the desert - Very nice excursion with the guide Khalid who was very friendly throughout the day. The desert of Oman is beautiful with its sand as far as the eye can see, we were able to take a camel ride for 3 extra riel. Then we went to wadi bani khalid which is really sumptuous and which is perfect to end the day.

An amazing trip with amazing guides! - The tour was an amazing experience, definitely worth its money. Our guides, Khalfan and Youssef, made the tour even more fun. They were very polite and informative, answering all of our questions about the landscape and Omani history. We definitely recommend this tour, especially with Khalfan and Youssef.

Great day - A great trip with an outstanding guide in Aziz. Omani roads meant the 330-mile round trip flew by! From the visit to a Bedouin tent with dates and coffee to a camel ride and a walk in bare feet in the desert 🥵, from the magical swim in Wadi Bani Khalid to experiencing typical Omani food, the day was a delight. Aziz was knowledgeable, exceptionally helpful and good fun. We enjoyed his driving through the sand dunes 😀. It’s a well conceived trip: the blistering heat of the desert made the swim later even more blissful. We would highly recommend.
