Incredible day trip - From the crystal-clear waters of Wadi Bani Khalid to the breathtaking golden dunes of Wahiba Sands, this trip was an unforgettable experience. The scenery was stunning, and the transition from lush oasis to vast desert was like stepping into two different worlds in one day. Our guide, Riyami, was fantastic — knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. He shared great stories about the region and made sure everything went smoothly. The sunset in the desert and the night under the stars were truly magical. Highly recommend this tour and especially Riyami!

Impressive Full-Day Tour – Highly Recommended - We had an absolutely fantastic experience on the Full-Day Wahiba Desert and Wadi Bani Khalid Group Tour. The natural beauty of both locations was breathtaking, and the itinerary was well-paced, allowing us to enjoy the highlights without feeling rushed. A special mention goes to our guide, Faris. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared insightful information throughout the day. What we appreciated most was his balanced approach – he was never pushy, allowing us the freedom to explore at our own pace while still being available when needed. His calm and professional manner really enhanced the overall experience. This tour exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking to discover the stunning landscapes of Oman with a well-organised and enjoyable group experience.

Good trip - Great communication from the driver about pick ups etc. Pick up on time. There were 4 of us in total in a big jeep type cruiser. It’s a 2.5 hour drive out into the desert to the wadi and we did a bit of off tossing to reach a Bedouin tent to have coffee and dates. Then on to the wadi for lunch and swim. The water is lovely but it’s not the easiest getting in and out. I really enjoyed the trip and thought it was great value for money. There is a lot of driving and a fair bit of walking around the wadi. It was 44 degrees so this can be a challenge. I would do this trip again

The trip to wadi and... - The trip to wadi and desert was far but I still can enjoy the trip. It needs time management so the trip is not going to be late back to the city.
