Best desert experience with Muneer - We had the pleasure of doing a desert safari with Muneer, our fantastic tour guide. He was picking us up from the hotel, where he was already 15 minutes prior to our meeting time. During the drive he told us a lot about Oman and its rich history. On the market, he helped us secure the best price and even took care of water and bought us some chips. In the desert he helped us find the perfect spot for taking some photos, he then even helped us to get the perfect shot. I can highly recommend this enthusiastic, driven, friendly, funny, safe and authentic guide. If in Oman, go with Oman sharing tours and Muneer. Once again, thank you Muneer for making this good trip great!

My family and I had a... - My family and I had a wonderful experience with our guide, Khalfan, over two days--he joined us both for the trip to Wahiba Sands and Wadi Bani Khalid, as well as Nizwa and Jebel Akhdar. Both day tours from Muscat were long, as both locations are a few hours from Muscat by car, but Khalfa made the time pass by quickly. He was full of interesting information about Oman's history, daily life in Oman, and Omani culture. His knowledge made our trip to Oman all the richer--it would have been much more difficult to appreciate each of the sites we visited without his commentary. All-in-all, a wonderful two days with Khalfan--we will certainly ask for him for future visits to Oman!

A great, happy option for our day trip! - We had a great day trip to Wadi Bani Khalid and the Wahiba Sands. The team was very flexible in scheduling with us the evening before, allowed us some helpful flexibility on pickup timing, and provided a comfortable and spacious vehicle. Ahmed was kind, courteous, and informative. He also made sure we could see sunset over the Wahiba sands.

It's a unique experience that I would definitely recommend - The day trip was wonderful ! The landscape is breathtaking. Our guide Nasr was incredible during all the day, always very polite, attentive and helpful. We even had the chance to meet a pottery maker and taste delicious Omani tea on the way to the desert and Wadi Bani Khalid, which was great and much appreciated. The camel ride was also very nice !

Best guide in Oman - Today we visited wadi Bani Khalid and Wahiba sand with Khalid Alraqadi from Oman sharing tours. Ha took us to many cool stops along the way and stopped whenever we requested. He also helped me fix my Omani hat before riding the camel, and took many videos and photos during the day. During the evening he edited and sent us a Instagram ready video of us from our highlights during the long day we had. He's a great photographer and guide, and highly recommended. Next time we book a tour in Oman we will specifically request Mr. Alraqadi.
