Heritage and spectacular views: what more do you want? - Wonderful half day tour of Taqah and Wadi Darbat. A marvellous combination of heritage and spectacular views. A special mention must be made of our tour guide, Mohamed. His knowledge of local history, culture and interesting anecdotes made this a trip never to forget. I would definitely recommend this trip

East Salalah - I really enjoyed the trip with our tour guide, Mohammed Ali. He was friendly and helpful and tried to deliver the best service. He stopped at various picturesque places even outside the planning route to give us a chance to see hidden gems.

Interesting tour to learn about Oman and the Salalah/Taqa area - The guide was super nice and took very good care of our 4 year old son. Otherwise, he told us a lot about the area and answered all questions. We had a great afternoon where we learned a lot about the region and its history

Perfect organization, friendly guide - We really enjoyed the trip with our guide, Abo Salim. He was friendly and helpful and tried to deliver the best service. The excursion was interesting but good to know that waterfalls doesn’t exist in this period of the year. In spite of this fact, we can just say positive things about organizer. They contacted us one day before with clear information and guide was exactly right on time when we met. Thank you once again!

Perfect organization with friendly guide. - We really enjoyed the tour with Abo Salim who was our guide. He was really helpful and we really appreciated his kind hospitality. The tour itself was interesting, but you need to know that waterfalls doesn’t exist in this period of the year. In spite of this fact we can just recommend Beautiful Salalah Tours for the professional organization. They contacted us one day before and guide was exactly on time in front of the hotel. Thank you for great excursion!

Amazing tour - My son and i had a fantastic day doing the East part of Salalah. Adel is an excellent guide and really took time to show us his region. The car was very confortable and the group was very nice. Adel showed a lot of hospitality. From the Omanis houses to the long untouched beaches and the boat at Darbat Park followed by amazing view spots at more than 1700 meters high, we will keep amazing memories of our stay in Salalah. I highly recommend this tour.

Unforgettable East Salalah Experience with Adel! - We had an amazing time exploring East Salalah with our guide, Adel, from Beautiful Salalah Tours. Adel was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience feel personal and enjoyable. From the stunning cliffs of Taqah to the historic ruins of Sumhuram and the breathtaking views at Wadi Darbat, every stop was well planned and filled with interesting stories and local insights. Adel’s passion for the region truly made the difference – we felt like we were touring with a friend. Highly recommend this tour and especially Adel as your guide. A must-do experience when visiting Salalah!
