Amazing experience - Abo Salim has been a very kind, generous and thoughtful guide. He was always willing to help and answer any question. With him we have seen black camels, beautiful dunes, frankincense trees and infinite stars before going to sleep. We had one of the best dinners of the trip at the camp and we slept well in the tent. We would definitely recommend this tour to families, couples or anyone really.

Unforgettable sun set and sun rise in the sand dunes. - A very memorable overnight trip into Rub Al Khali with interesting stop-overs in Ubar and Wadi Dawkah on the way there. We also stopped at a camel farm which is interesting if you have not seen camels elsewhere. Our guide Ibrahim was very friendly and did an excellent job in finding quiet places on the sand dunes to enjoy an unforgettable sun set and sun rise the next morning. He also provided us with a lot of information on the way of life in Oman which helped us to better understanding the country and its people.

Amazin night in the desert - We did the night in the desert with our guide Mohammed Ali. He has been very nice and ready to show us all the beautiful places that are here in Oman. He explained us Omanite culture and made us feel very welcome. He speaks very good english.

Magical! - Night in the desert with excursion booked from home (with Francorosso). Marvelous! Night in a simple 2-person tent, with low but very comfortable IKEA-type beds, very clean chemical toilets and 1 shower. Priceless sunset, stories around the bonfire, spectacular dinner and breakfast.

Amazing desert - Amazing two days. Many thanks to our driver Mohammed. He shared a lot of very interesting background information. Camp is very very basic. Not comparable to those in WahibaSands. We enjoyed the trip

Camping on the dunes - We had a wonderful and culturally rich experience with Abo Salim, an omani and local bedouin who went out of his way to make our night in the desert memorable. Given the option to set camp in a dune close to the bedouin camps for a more private experience, we said yes and did not regret our choice. We picked up food on the way with Abo Salim, incl. camel meat and omani sweets, and made our way to the desert. We got to the dunes at a perfect time to witness the sunset. Abo Salim made omani tea and cooked a delicious meal for us, set up the tent, took pictures, and answered our many questions. We spent the evening enjoying the calm and landscape, and exchanging about the omani and western culture. Thank you again Abo Salim. We wish you and your family all the best.
