Reviews
Omar our guide was very pleasant and accommodating . He did not rush and the place he took us for lunch was very nice. Insyallah if I ever come back to Oman I will definitely have Omar as my guide .
It was an amazing experience. Our guide, Talal, showed us truly wonderful hospitality. The desert sunset was absolutely beautiful. The next time I visit Oman, I would definitely love to have him as our guide again.
Had a pleasant experience with our guide, Muadh! He was an excellent driver so the journey to our different locations were smooth and comfortable. He was also very accommodating to some requests made by the other participants. I'm taking away some points though for the location itself, Wadi Bani Khalid, because it fell short of my expectations. The area near the entrance of the wadi was marred by constructions sites and noises. Totally not what I expect when visiting a natural site. But its not that unsightly so if you can get past that, it's a beautiful location!

A must visit site, klook experience as always has been perfect. the trip was outstanding and the guide friend was amazing. A must book from klook
1. Wahiba Desert doesn’t offer much to see. You can ride camels in Dubai or Jordan instead. The sand dunes here are not particularly impressive. If you want to stay in the desert, consider camping overnight. Wadi Bani Khalid, on the other hand, is beautiful. I think it’s the most worthwhile destination in Oman. 2. Tour guides usually don’t provide too much information. Overall, their service is acceptable, but nothing exceptional.
i had a great time on the tour. It was a very scenic road journey, seeing the mountains along the way, and beautiful sunset on the return journey. Enjoyed my time in the wadi and dune bashing in Wahiba desert. Special thanks to Ahamed, he took great care of me, it was fun and very enriching experience.
Stressless travel around Muscat. Guide is informative about the country. It will be great if we can stay for 1.5 hr in Wadi Bani Khalid
The day before the trip, you will receive a text message from the travel agency via WhatsApp. At 8 am, a four-wheel drive vehicle will pick you up at the hotel and drive for about 2 hours and 40 minutes to arrive at the valley. Since you will be given about an hour of free time, you will have to individually go up to the valley, play, and come back down. The time to play is relatively short. Then, you will be given chicken briyani for lunch and go to the desert to have a quick coffee at a Bedouin camp. Then, you will be given about 30 minutes to spend in the desert. Then, you will drive for about 2 hours and 40 minutes to return to the city before 6 am. Since the round-trip travel time is long, you will not have much free time to spend at each tourist spot. This is recommended for those who are uncomfortable with long-distance driving.
Amazing experience with our guide Faisal. Itinerary was perfect and the tour made our Oman experience even better. I recommend going with this tour!
