Exceptional experience at the desert ofthe empty fourth, stop at the sunken city of ubar and incense trees. - Great Tour, Highly Recommendation. The sunset in the desert was spectacular, also because there was little wind and few people. I also spend a few words for our Guide Mohammad, wonderful and prepared person.

Strong emotions - Well if you don't live it you won't understand it... I feel the sand in my feet... and the silence that pervades these places, even to hear the rustle of the sand grains carried by the wind

Day in the Desert - Abo Salim was our guide for the afternoon and gave us plenty of time to take photographs, even taking some beautiful ones for us. He was a skilled driver in the dunes and treated us to karak tea. Thank you for a special afternoon in the desert!

Amazing tour with an outstanding guide - We booked this advanture as a group tour but where lucky to be the only ones showing up - so it was a private tour. Mohammed Ali was a great guide, answered all of our questions and showed us the best spots. He also took beautiful pictures of us. We highly recommend!

Great private tour into the desert with Abo Salim - Definitely book if you've never been to a genuine sandy desert. Fantastic dunes and sunset. We had enough time to enjoy the sand dunes before we looked for a secluded spot for the sunset. The interesting drive through the mountains and the detours to the incense trees, the lost city of Wubar and the black camels were also very worthwhile. Our guide Abo Salim kept us well entertained on the journey with stories about Oman and treated us to coffee, dates, camel meat and milk.

Very nice experience - A very good trip in the Empty Quarter Desert. The guide Abo Salim was perfect 🤩 but unfortunately we couldn’t see the sunset due to cloudy weather. Anyway we recommend this tour to explore the desert near Salalah.
