Wadi Bani Khaled with Great Guide Khalil! - It was a very nicely paced day with guide Khalil. June is one of the hottest times of the year, so better to wait till cooler months if you can. But we made the most of our schedule. Khalil is a friendly guide, safe driver, informative, easy-going and lets you go your own pace. You can adjust your schedule throughout the day on this private tour and Wadi Bani Khaled is absolutely beautiful! The Wahiba sands was also a great site to see. You need 4 wheel drive and a skilled driver- thank you again Khalil! It was a wonderful day where Khalil shared his cooking with us which was delicious! A wonderful day that we will never forget.

Oman - Natural beauty! 😍 - Visit Oman to experience the beauty of the country and it's countrymen.
Booked our tour to the desert with Oman Landscape Tours and Khalid took us on a journey of sand and sunshine. The long travel was covered with anecdotes from history, traditions and culture of Oman.
Wadi Bani Khalid was a sight to behold! Wading in the emerald waters was a relief on the hot summer day. Quench your thirst with the delicious lime and mint juice.
Once ready, move to experience the Bedouin life, enter their home, enjoy their hospitality and craftsmanship. Ride the camels before dune bashing. Leave your footprints on the sands of time!
Kudos to Khalid for his extra care, to stop in the heat, get us some locally sourced fresh dates to get us the flavor of Oman.

Best day at Wahiba Sands & Wadi Bani Khalid with Muneer! - Today we visited Wahiba Sands and Wadi Bani Khalid with Maneer as our tour guide for the third time, and it was an unforgettable experience! Maneer’s warm and friendly demeanor made us feel very welcome and relaxed. He is incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating details about the Bedouin culture as we visited a traditional tent and rode camels across the desert. The highlight of our day was definitely the visit to Wadi Bani Khalid, where Maneer led us to the most beautiful swimming spots. His easy-going nature made us feel very comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Maneer to help make our adventure both enjoyable and memorable. Highly recommended!

The trip was really... - The trip was really beautiful and a unique experience! Visiting the Bedouin’s and drinking some traditional coffee and dates was a perfect introduction to our day. Riding the camels will definitely bring some laughter! Wahiba sands are beautiful but maybe would be better to visit for sunset. Thank you Yasser for all the information you gave us about Oman and for making our time there exceptional!

Great day trip from Muscat - We thoroughly enjoyed the day. Comfortable vehicle. Abdulaziz was our guide and he was excellent. Very friendly and helpful and good English. He collected from the port after we disembarked the cruise ship. We visited the Bedouin camp and had coffee and dates. Driving through the dunes and got some great photos of camels. The scenery is spectacular. Mountains and desert were breathtaking. Lunch at a local restaurant to try the bbq meats which we loved. The Wadi was amazing and a great way to cool off before the drive back to Muscat. Thanks for an excellent day Abdulaziz!

Alignment of the planets - It was a beautiful and unforgettable trip. Maybe we got the time wrong because it was too hot. But I will definitely return on another occasion.
