Unforgettable Journey - We are a group of 6 who booked a multi-day tour in Oman with 1 car. During our trip, we explored Muscat City, Wadi Shab Adventure, Wadi Bani Khalid, Wahiba Sands Desert, Nizwa, and Jebel Akhdar. It was a truly wonderful experience, made even better by our excellent tour guide, Mohammed. Thank you for an unforgettable journey!

Best trip - Our trip to Wadi Hawr and the Wahiba Sands Desert was an unforgettable experience filled with beauty, culture, and adventure. We enjoyed a peaceful camel ride across the golden dunes and visited a traditional Bedouin house, where we were warmly welcomed with Omani coffee and fresh dates. It was the perfect moment to relax and soak in the desert atmosphere as we waited for the breathtaking sunset. A big thank you to Mr. Mohammed, who was an exceptional guide throughout the day knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. We highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to experience the true spirit of Oman.

Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and made history come alive with interesting stories and insights. Al Hoota Cave was a natural wonder cool and mysterious! Misfat Al Abriyeen stole our hearts with its ancient mud-brick houses and lush terraces, and Bahla's enormous fort was a true hidden gem. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a mix of culture, history, and nature in one day!

History and nature trip - History, nature, and adventure all in one day! This tour had the perfect mix of culture and nature. Misfah Al Arbiyeen was stunning walking along the mountain paths lined with palm trees and listening to the sound of flowing water from the falaj system was so calming. Al Hamra was like stepping into a different era, and I loved seeing the traditional architecture up close. A great way to escape the heat into Oman's natural wonders.

Al Hamra and Misfath Al Arbiyeen trip - Authentic and awe-inspiring We were blown away by the authenticity of Al Hamra and Misfah Al Arbiyeen. These villages still feel alive with tradition. We took so many photos stone houses, terraced gardens, and the iconic mountain views. Al Hoota Cave offered something completely different cool temperatures and fascinating rock formations deep below ground. Our guide made the day seamless and full of insights. It was one of our most memorable experiences in Oman.

A hidden gem of oman - A hidden gem in the mountains of Oman Misfah Al Arbiyeen was definitely the highlight of our trip quiet, peaceful, and incredibly scenic. I enjoyed talking to locals and learning about the falaj irrigation system. Al Hamra had a special charm too, especially Bait Al Safah, where I watched traditional bread being made. The visit to Al Hoota Cave added a nice touch of nature and geology. If you're into off-the-beaten-path experiences, this trio is a must.

A cultural day full of discovery - Our family loved every moment of this tour. Al Hamra's mudbrick houses gave us a real sense of how Omanis lived centuries ago. Walking through Misfah Al Arbiyeen felt like a journey into a living museum—with its falaj water channels and beautiful date palms. Al Hoota Cave was a huge hit with the kids—the underground formations and the little train ride were unforgettable. Highly recommended for families who want to mix history with a little adventure!
