One of a kind... - We booked the tour for two people just two days prior. Mohammad promptly responded and confirmed our booking. He picked us up at our hotel punctually and even had drinks ready. His extensive knowledge about the area, nature, customs, and traditions made it evident that he is an experienced tour guide. He enthusiastically shared this knowledge with us. It was a unique experience that we highly recommend to all first-time visitors to Salalah. Thank you again, Mohammad, it was a wonderful day! Wishing you continued success and all the best! ♡♡ S.

The real PRIVATE TOUR - Our tour guide was Mohammed, who is very talkative and nice. He knows how to make the tour more private. We never joined any other groups and being separated made our tour feel more romantic and special in any ways. Even enjoying the sunset with no crowds around was amazing… On the way he stopped to get us ice cream , Arabic tea and on the way back he took us to a local restaurant which was delicious. We would choose Mohammed again for sure and we highly recommend him. 😊⭐️

BestGuide :)) - We enjoyed our desert safari and the whole thing was perfect! We booked a month in advance online and received a confirmation promptly. On the day of the tour we were picked up from the hotel on time. Our driver Mohammad was super nice and the car was in very good condition. We felt safe and in good hands right from the start. He answered all of our questions and showed us and told us great stories about the places we visited. The desert safari itself was great fun and was something we just had to experience!! We paid our driver at the end of the tour (in cash and the agreed amount). We can 100% recommend Mohammad!

Unique experience - We did the tour with Mohammad in November. It was a unique experience. We will certainly never forget the impressions we were able to experience. There were only two of us so we were able to do everything at our own pace and in a very relaxed manner. We couldn't have imagined anyone better than Mohammad as our guide. He explained everything to us in perfect Italian. The overnight stay in the desert and the sunrise the next morning were overwhelming. This tour is highly recommended. Thanky you so much
