Amazing trip - Amazing experience in the desert with a private tour very well organized. We spent a night sleeping in the desert with a private dinner buffet and then the day after we had breakfast and picked up back to our hotel. I really recommend this excursion, the guide was very kind and helpful.

Unfogetable - Unforgetable experience, we where lucky to have the chance to enjoy and expirience the desert with Ahmed our tourguide. Any time we would do it again. For overnight perhaps. Every moment was magic. We will tell everyone planing a trip to Salalah to not miss out booking a excursion with Glory Tours. We can highly recommend Ahmed Al-Mahri however we are sure the whole team is great.

Perfect Family Tour - Perfect family fun with Glory Tours Salalah desert tour! Kids loved camel rides, sandboarding, and petting goats at a local farm. Great guide, Ahmed, kept everyone entertained and safe. Recommend for families with young children!

Dreaming in the desert - We spent two days in the desert with Ahmed, nothing to say except fantastic! He is an expert guide, very knowledgeable and never boring, you feel involved in every moment spent with him; has lots of interesting desert stories to tell. Definitely the best guide in Salalah. And it's really true; you arrive as a guest but go home with an extra friend. Thanks Ahmed!

so nice experience - it's not the best desert i saw , but it's surely a must in Oman on this area. the desert is ever a magic experience to do. It's not cheap area and attention to reserve to the camp becuase the cheapest one are on the street i suggest to stay on the dunes with just desert view :)
