Best one I’ve had - This tour was such a special experience, and a big reason for that was our guide, Ali Qahoor. From the start, he made everything feel comfortable, calm, and easy. He is genuinely one of the kindest and sweetest people I’ve met. Ali was always thoughtful and attentive, making sure everyone was happy and enjoying the moment. You could really feel how much he cares about what he does, and that warmth made the entire journey even more memorable. This experience wouldn’t have been the same without him. I’m truly grateful and would highly recommend this tour — especially if you’re lucky enough to have Ali Qahoor as your guide.

Through the mountains into the desert with guide Mussallam - We found the tour incredibly beautiful. Exploring incense trees in their surroundings, testing camel milk from black camels, enjoying the lost city and, to top it off, a sunset in a gigantic desert. We were completely flashed. Musallam, a name they should remember. We have never been on the road with such a dedicated, German-speaking guide. Unbelievable how great He presented his home of Oman and this tour to us. Lots of tips and a kindness, wow! Predicate: Excellent Our conclusion: Tour fully recommended.

Nice experience! - Abo Salim was a fantastic guide and explained a lot about desert orientation. Like the Bedouins do. The experience was just what I expected. The camel breeding was very cute and the milk was sweet. Thank you so much for your experience

Sunset and cloud of stars on the edge of the Omani desert. - With this excursion, you will go as close as possible to the dunes at sunset, to touch the “desert” experience from the box of doights. On the way out, we could see loblolly trees, black camels and the lost city of Ubar. Ali Qahoor, our Omani guide, for a day, was very welcoming and gave us many anecdotes about the Dhofar region, but also about life as an Omani.
