Great service and beautiful must-see sights! - There are many options when you’re looking for a tour guide in Muscat but Oman Landscape Tours, specifically Hamood, is definitely a high quality choice and I would recommend using them. I admittedly booked last minute, the night before. But the company was super accommodating and connected me with Hamood right away. He messaged me and arranged to pick me up straight from my hotel in the early morning. He was early picking me up and we went straight to the desert and then to the wadi. He had lots of knowledge about Oman to pass along while we were driving. You could also tell that the adventure was carefully planned to get the most out of the trip. We were in the desert at the right time to get some very beautiful pictures and then made it to the wadi for some great relaxation times. He was also great at taking lots of photos and sent them all to me after the tour was over. I loved the tour so much that I booked a city tour with him the following day. Thank you, Hamood!

Njoy with 4 *4 Vehicles - A worthwhile desert playground to visit while in Oman! Plenty of desert camps to choose from which offer all kinds of activities like dune bashing, camel rides, ATV rentals, etc.

Wonderful Experienced - We had a wonderful day out to Wahiba Sand Desert. The views and the landscape of the desert was beautiful. We visited the bedouin house and had some coffee and dates. Then after we went to Wadi Bani Khalid, and we had swimmed in there. Khalid was an excellent guide, sharing his knowledge about Oman. We enjoyed our whole trip. Thank You, highly recommend.

Fantastic places and moments in Oman - We had a great trip to Wadi Bani Khalid today! We got very good insider tips from Abdulaziz, our tour guide, and got the best views and swimming opportunities! It was so fascinating! Also the desert and the drive was a lot of fun! We highly recommend our tour guide, he was so entertaining, funny and is super informed! You will really enjoy this tour with Abdulaziz!

A wonderful desert excursion! - We had another amazing day with Mr Said, our guide! The desert was breathtaking and the Bedouin family most welcoming. A highlight for us was the chance to meet the family’s camels up close - wonderful animals. The visit to the wadi in the afternoon was a moment of peaceful refreshment in a beautiful setting. We can’t wait to do another tour with Oman Landscape Tours - thank you, Analiza and Mr Said!

Great tour with Mr. Muneer - We booked a private tour to wadi bani Khalid and wahiba sands. Mr. Muneer took us with pajero on a very safe and peaceful journey. He answered our questions very patiently and friendly. And all the tips are given beforehand. Snacks and water are prepared for free. It was great service. It’s also worth mentioning that Analiza is of great help with all the information we needed and reply message very quickly. I would recommend booking this company. People are dedicated to their work. Hope your business boom.

zero excursion!! - Very long and uninteresting day!! Our biggest disappointment was after 3 hours of driving the desert part of Wahiba! This consists of doing 1km of track (no dune) to arrive in a Bedouin shop then leave.......I did the same kind of excursion in Dubai, we walked for an hour in the dunes, too bad because the desert seemed very beautiful to us. Then stop in a very touristy wadi where we ate in a shabby restaurant. In short, 8 hours of driving for not much. Fortunately our guide Khalid was fantastic and in no way responsible for our disappointment
