Great experience - That's good. My Yaqoob Guide was fantastic and very helpful. The visit of the desert and the Wadi Bani Khalid was unforgettable, although in the presence of high temperatures

Great day! - I did this tour with Abdallah as a solo female traveler, with 3 other girls who were traveling together. Abdallah is a great guide and great driver. (I fell asleep on the road multiple times as his driving was so smooth). He was full of knowledge and gave us a great overview of the country. We felt safe and well looked after the entire time. The desert was really nice and I enjoyed the break with the Bedouin family. One thing to note is that modest swimwear is required for the wadi. I didn’t have any so I could not get in the water to swim and cool down. But nevertheless it was a great day.

Highly recommended, no scam and great guide - Great insights from our guide Abulaziz. Fun in dessert with dune bashing, not too touristic bendouin family coffee time, beautiful wadi bani khaled, and an extra Arabic pan cake as highway stop. Would alswaya do that again!

A fun day out in the beautiful countryside, but not informative. - A good tour with great driver and nice guide. The driving in the sand dunes was impressive, and I liked the desert and wadi swimming. The stop at the Bedouin is basically an underwhelming tourist trap, but at least you get to see some wares and have the Omani light coffee and dates. The guide we had that day was very nice, but wasn't able to give a good overview of the history. Much of what he told us was incorrect when I went to go read about it more from reliable sources.

Not bad - My experience on the Wahiba Desert and Wadi Bani Khalid Group Tour was overall positive. The desert tour was thrilling, though I wish the 15-minute sand dune ride had been longer to fully enjoy the experience. The sinkhole visit was average but added some variety to the tour. Lunch featured typical local cuisine with rice and chicken, which was good and satisfying. For those booking through Viator, this tour provides a solid taste of Omani landscapes and culture, but a few tweaks could make it even better.
