Top day with a top supervisor Mohammed Aljabri. A day to remember - We were picked up by Mohammed Aljabri for this day trip. How wonderful this young man has made our day. He is so friendly and welcoming and introduces us with love to all the beauty. It felt very familiar to have him already escorted. My family and I more than enjoyed it. Overall a wonderful day with a professional and very attentive supervisor who I can recommend to everyone.

Wonderful experience - We were collected promptly at the time specified, we had regular contact with our tour guide NASR prior to collection so felt very comfortable knowing he would arrive. We had a wonderful day experiencing desert life and then off to the Wadi’s for a refreshing dip in the mountains First time on a camel was great fun, driving through the desert was exhilarating and we sampled local carrot tea accompanied with Oman homemade bread one with cheese and the other with egg, all in all it was a first class experience allowing us to share local food and Oman life

Unforgettable Desert Adventure with Khalid and Youssef - Our third tour with Khalid AlRaqadi and his teammate Youssef was once again an unforgettable experience. We started our day at the breathtaking Wadi Bani Khalid pools, where we were welcomed by lush palm trees in a stunning oasis. The highlight of our day, however, was the desert experience. Before heading into the dunes, we enjoyed a delicious meal at a traditional Bedouin house. The meal included camel meat, chicken, rice, fresh salad, and a variety of drinks. Everything was absolutely delicious, and the warm hospitality of the family made us feel right at home. Next, we embarked on an exciting camel ride through the golden desert. It was our first time riding a camel, so there was plenty of laughter and excitement. Khalid and Youssef made sure we felt completely comfortable, paying extra attention to ensure we enjoyed the experience to the fullest. To end the day in the best possible way, Khalid took us to the perfect spot to watch the sunset over the dunes. On our way there, we were treated to Omani chips, and while watching the sunset, we indulged in a delicious homemade date cake prepared by Youssef’s wife. It was the perfect ending to a flawless and peaceful day. Thank you, Khalid and Youssef, for another incredible adventure! We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable experience in Oman.

A beautiful day with an excellent guide - This tour is an excellent day trip away from the capital. Despite the long drive the program is very attractive with two sites that are really worth the trip. The agency is very professional, from booking by whatsapp to pick up. Our Nasr guide was very kind and accompanied us with great attention on the road and in activities. Thank you Nasr, it was a beautiful day!

Good memorable trip - This was our first time in Oman. We booked a tour to the Sands desert and Wadi. We really enjoyed everything. Our guide, Nasr , was very professional, friendly, and spoke English. The car was very clean and comfortable. Most importantly, he drove very carefully, which made us feel safe and relaxed throughout the journey. What did we like? Everything felt very authentic. We got to see real Omani life. Nasr shared a lot of information about Oman with us and provided detailed answers to all of our questions. We truly enjoyed the experience and learned so much about Omani culture. We’re very happy that we ventured beyond the hotel and had the chance to explore more of this beautiful country.
