The tour was so nice, I’d like to do it twice! - Brother Mohammed Ali was an amazing tour guide. Firstly, he was prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable. He answered all of our questions about Omani culture and society. He told us about how frankincense is harvested and how the camels are raised in the desert. He took us on an exhilarating ride through the sand dunes of the empty quarter. We enjoyed a delicious dinner in a desert camp and we had a smooth ride back to the city.

A Perfect Blend of Culture, Adventure, and Relaxation - Our tour guide Mohammad Ali, provided excellent service while guiding us through UNESCO sites and other attractions in Oman. His lecture on the country's history and recent developments was both informative and well-balanced. Upon reaching the Empty Quarter, he demonstrated expert driving skills while giving us an exhilarating ride through the sand dunes. He carefully selected a quiet spot in the dunes where we could enjoy a picnic and watch the sunset. He even waited with us until complete darkness so we could marvel at the early stars over the desert. The entire experience was peaceful, offering a perfect blend of relaxation and breathtaking scenery as the sun set on the horizon.
