Very professional tour team - There is no words to say how beautifully they managed my salalah trip for 3 days. We were 4 pax including my wife and 2 kids. Adam, tour coordinator helped me to fix the itinerary and to find out the best hotel. Our tour guide Mahad was such nice person and guide i have ever met. His unconditional support made our trip remarkable and he never got frustrated even if were slipping on the time we have committed. He made our trip more comfortable by providing sufficient water and snacks.

Perfect combined east n west Salalah day trip - Reservations were smooth and over WhatsApp with Mr Adam. We had a great time enjoying Salalah’s natural wonders and our local guide from Taqah, Mr Abdullah made our experience even better. He gave us enough free time to explore each location. We got complimentary water and ice-cream during the trip. Lunch recommendation was also great.

Unforgettable Day - We did the east-west-tour with Ahmed yesterday. The tour was fantastic, we saw a lot of beautiful places. Ahmed is an excellent tour guide, he explained everything about the country and culture to us and answered all our questions (in fluent German!). He gave us enough time to discover all the places where we stopped and also went to some extra places for example so that we could come really close to a herd of camels to take photos there. We can highly recommend the tour and Arabian Travel Service Company. The booking was uncomplicated and everything was very well organized. Thank you again for this amazing day!

Rashid is the one. - Fantastic experienence with Rashid. Very knowledable and very kind indeed. Took us to many stops and scenic routes along the way and also caught fishing with a huge catch! Amazing tour, please ask for Rashid whenever doing this tour. Best time to go is between June - August. Anything before then, although beautiful, is very dry. Didnt get to the see the waterfall and wadi darabat because it was dry

Perfect tour⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Hello, we had our tour in April. We were very surprised that, despite being offered a tour in English, our guide Ahmed spoke fluent German. There were only two of us on the tour with Ahmed. He was very patient with us and gave us the time we needed to see all the sights. Again, it wasn't a run-of-the-mill tour, but personal wishes were taken into account. We have rarely had such a good tour as with Ahmed from Arabian Travel Service😉 Highly recommended 👍🏻

Fantastic experience - An intense but fantastic day which allowed us to visit the main places of interest in Salalah & East/West areas. The real plus of this tour was undoubtedly our guide Rashid, very knowledgeable not only on the places visited but on the history of this region and of Oman which allowed us to totally immerse ourselves and fully enjoy this beautiful day spent in his company . Having a guide and private car obviously has its advantages and we were able to modulate stops and visits according to our needs. Definitely, I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to optimize their time and visit the main areas in this area in one day. Thank you Rashid for the wonderful experience!
