You’ll also have the opportunity to scale the dunes yourself, feeling the shifting sands beneath your feet. From atop the dunes, marvel at the panoramic vistas of sun-drenched sand seas while the sun sinks slowly in the sky. Be sure to capture stunning sunset photos of the desert before nightfall. En route to the desert, witness first-hand Wadi Dawka, a valley populated by thousand-year-old Frankincense trees that yield the prized frankincense resin. Continue your journey along the Frankincense route to the ancient city of Ubar. The ruins of Ubar bear testimony to the city’s rich history as a key hub in the incense trade.

Our experience with Takamul Travel is ours and it can be yours too! - This trip and 3 other trips with the private travel agency Takamul Travel /southern Oman-Salala/, which we managed during our 11-day stay, exceeded our expectations. All the organization of the trips took place under the direction of Mr. Tomaštík, a Czech living here and co-owner of this travel book. During his travels he provided comprehensive information about Oman, there was not a question that he did not know the answer to thoroughly. Flawless organization during trips, reliability, advantage of a small group, max. 2 cars. Kája Tomaštík, a young, empathetic person with the advantage of knowing the local language, which is a big advantage against other tour companies offering trips. Staying in Sálála and trips with Mr. Tomaštík was a great experience for us Europeans and we highly recommend it.

Takamul travel - A very well organized trip that brought me and my family incredible experiences. especially the sunset in the desert is beautiful. The guide was very pleasant and gave us a lot of information. We also had a rental car from the same company and everything was in perfect order. I recommend it to everyone.

Private Desert sunset tour - The tour was great and our guide Azuz is a nice guy very experienced. The desert is not to be missed when in Salalah and the private tour is the best way to live it with your timing.
