Totally recommended day trip - the best in Oman! - Totally a MUST in Oman!! We had a late start of the day, so could sleep a bit more and have a nice breakfast before heading to Wadi Bani Khalid, where there is a nice structure with restaurant/toilet/changing room, the views are amazing, you can either walk through the canyons or swim in the river, it was an all families fun! Then, we headed to a Bedouin buffet restaurant and ate a very tasty local food… Last but not least, we arrived at the desert, had Omani coffee and dates, I had Henna done and my husband went on a Camel ride and we saw the sunset up on a sand dune! On our way back, our driver Aziz presented us to Omani bread and we had also the nice and fresh juices Oman can offer to us!! It was an amazing day :)

Third great tour with our tour guide Aziz - This was our third tour with our tour guide Aziz. He was like the trips before very friendly and helpful to us. We started at 11am, because we wanted to see the sunset in the Wahiba sands desert which was amazing. Everybody should do this. But first we went to Wadi Bani Khalid. We had a great day with Aziz again. He is a great driver and takes good care of his customers. If you plan a tour I would ask for Aziz. So thanks a lot for everything Aziz, take good care.

Excellent Guide and Great Desert Trip - Our guide Said Al Kiyumi was very helpful in showing us the Wahiba/Sharqiya sands, driving us around the desert, visiting a Bedouin house and taking us camel riding. Would highly recommend Sunshine Tours!

Great day - Had a great day with sunshine tours my husband and I and our two sons 21&17. Our driver Hamoud was friendly and knowledgeable. I organised direct via email and WhatsApp and we were picked up /returned to our hotel which was outside muscat. Wadi bani Khalid was busy as it was 30 Dec but still lovely on the higher up walk. Thank you for a great day
