Most amazing excursion - Abo Salim was the best guide. He was so knowledgeable and he shared so much about Omani heritage and culture. The views were extraordinary. In Wadi Darbat, I got kissed by a camel. I’d like to return here during the rainy season so I could see the waterfalls.

Great trip - We have visited outside the kharef season but the tour was still amazing we had many different attractions from the old traditional house where we could try on omani traditional dresses and take pictures to the spectacular views at the cliffs by the sea to the mountains with the view up to the sea to the main attraction of whadi darbat where you can see the waterfalls and the multitude of animals that live in the region. I liked it very much we had a fun group and our guide Adil was very helpful knowledgeable and supportive.
