Highlights
  • Wahiba Sands - Departing from Muscat, we make our way to Wadi Fanja for a brief photo opportunity. Progressing onwards, we visit a Bedouin House, where the tents are sectioned off by an ornamental divider known as a gata. One side of the tent is designated for women, children, and storage, including cooking equipment. Here, we indulge in traditional Omani coffee and dates. Subsequently, you’ll have the chance to ride camels, historically utilized by local Bedouins for transport. Following this, we embark on a thrilling Quad Bike ride, offering an exhilarating adrenaline boost as you navigate the sandy terrain. Additionally, you can partake in Sand Boarding, an adventurous sport akin to Snowboarding, providing an entertaining method to traverse the desert dunes. We then proceed to conventional Sand Dune Bashing, joining others in this exciting activity. Come afternoon, enjoy a lunch before we commence our return journey to Muscat.

Additional Information

We set out early from Muscat, making our way to the Sharqiya region. Along the route, we pause briefly for a photo opportunity at the charming village of Fanja before proceeding to Wadi Bani Khalid. This expansive wadi provides the opportunity to explore further into its depths or perhaps visit its concealed caves. There’s also the option to dine at a local Omani restaurant right there. In the afternoon, our journey takes us to the renowned Wahiba Sands Desert. Here, you’ll traverse off-road conditions and bear witness to infinite expanses of undisturbed sand and towering dunes. It’s a chance to fully immerse yourself in and capture the enchanting spirit of the Omani desert. We’ll also have the possibility to stop by a typical Bedouin house where we can sample Omani coffee and dates (subject to availability). Additionally, you can mount a Camel for a ride and drive towards the dunes for abundant photo opportunities. Following this desert expedition, we hit the road back to Muscat.

Great day trip with Lifetime tours Oman - Our day trip to the stunning Wahiba Sands desert and the enchanting Wadi Bani Khalid with Lifetime Tours Oman was simply unforgettable! From start to finish, I was impressed by the team's professionalism and dedication. The organization and planning were flawless. Pre-trip communication was clear and precise, which helped us prepare for the adventure. Then, when we arrived on site, we were warmly welcomed by our tour guide, who not only knew about the region and its history, but was also an outstanding host. His deep knowledge and passion for the environment made the trip an educational and enriching experience. The Wahiba Sands desert offered a landscape that thrilled our senses - endless sand dunes in different shades shimmering in the sunlight. Our tour allowed us to immerse ourselves in the culture of the Bedouins by experiencing their way of life and traditions first hand. And Wadi Bani Khalid was like a hidden paradise! The clear water and the surrounding nature were a true oasis. We had plenty of time to swim, relax and take in the beauty of this place. The entire experience was perfectly orchestrated by Lifetime Tours Oman. Their attention to details, pursuit of excellence and ability to create an unforgettable adventure deserve the highest recognition. I would highly recommend this agency to anyone who wants to experience an unforgettable and well-organized excursion in Oman. Thank you again to the team at Lifetime Tours Oman for this unforgettable experience. I am already looking forward to experiencing more wonderful travel adventures with you in the future!

Unforgettable experience in Oman with Life Time Tours: Excellent organization and local expertise - My visit to the Sultanate of Oman through Life Time Tours was simply fantastic. The excellent organization by the company made my experience unforgettable. We had a local guide who spoke fluent German and was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about everything in Oman, including the traditions and customs. The trip itself was extraordinarily beautiful. We recommend anyone who wants to visit Oman in the future to book their trip entirely with Life Time Tours as they offer the best organization, local guides and also the best prices.
