Unforgettable Oman: Desert Dunes, Bedouin Culture & Oasis

We booked for a trip from Muscat to visit Wadi Bani Khaled and a Sunset Desert Safari. We were collected from our hotel by Mr. Badar and had a great time with him. We enjoyed our time at the Wadi and he guided us through the entire route followed by a trip to the desert, with some dune fun and finishing off with some awesome Kahawa/Coffee and Dates. We had a grand time with Mr. Badar!

We had a wonderful day with Amer. The Wadi Bany Khalid wasn’t too busy, and we had a great swim in the beautiful water. We really enjoyed jumping in from the rocks (the tour company kindly reminded me to have suitable clothes to swim in - covered arms and legs). After the Wadi we headed to the Bedouin house which was really interesting. Then we went to the dessert. Amer took us to some dunes for some fun for the boys in the sand, and to take some great photos! He’s an excellent photographer 😊 Then we headed to our camp, Nomadic Dessert Camp. I chose this camp as I wanted somewhere quiet (no quad bikes!), well into the dessert for dark skies, and a really authentic experience. It was exactly that. Wonderful hosts / owners and great service. A sky full of stars was incredible. We took a ‘dessert safari’ as an extra. Driving through the dunes, visiting baby camels and goats, catching and examining a little lizard, and taking in the magnificent sunset from on top of a dune. The boys enjoyed burying each other too! The food at the camp was really tasty and there was plenty of it. As a vegetarian I was well catered for. Before breakfast we took the short camel ride for 20 mins which was great fun. We saw that the camels are extremely well cared for and very gentle. The whole trip was wonderful.

We had a memorable experience exploring Wadi Bani Khalid and Dessert along with warm hospitality at the Bedouin house. Thanks to our Tour guide Ahmed who was very knowledgeable and also took good care of us as we were travelling with my 4 year old daughter. He helped us walking in the Wadi and also took us to a good local restaurant for lunch. Nice coffee with prefect sunset in the Dessert. Highly recommend Ahmed. Thank you Oman Landscape tours for a memorable day.

First tour of my adventure in Oman and a great way to start! Hamood is an amazing tour guide. Very welcoming and accommodating. I'm looking forward to spending the week with him!

We had a truly excellent day out with Said who was a fantastic guide. The desert was incredible, so exciting to drive along the sand and then visit the Bedouin home. The camel ride was especially fun. Wadi bani Khalid was beautiful and refreshing to swim at and very accessible . A wonderful day out which was made easy with this tour.

Just back from an amazing day with our guide Jihad, The Wadi, Bedouin House and Desert Sunset were all wonderful and our daughter had so much fun on her camel ride. We cannot thank Jihad enough for making memories for our short stay in Oman and cannot recommend him highly enough! His choices for food and coffee stops were all great you will not be disappointed

This was an amazing tour! So worth the money, the hospitality was above and beyond what we expected. Ali was our tour guide and he was absolutely amazing! Highly recommend! We will be doing another one with him when we come back!

Great tour, with many different motives (desert, oasis) and a lot of activities. Jihad did everything to make us comfortable and have the most out of the trip!

We yesterday had a private full day tour with Mr. Ali Al Harthy into the desert. He is a very good driver and excellent tour guide. It was a relaxing day with great experiences! In the morning we had a stop with Oman breakfast and delicious Karak Tea. Then we drove to beduin house in the dessert and enjoyed camel riding. In another camp we did a quad bike ride through desert dunes, which was an exciting event. During the whole day Mr. Ali Al Harthy made photo stops on request. Before return to hotel we enjoyed deliciius Omani Lunch. We definetly recommend this tour when visiting Oman. Communication with tour company was also perfect. Summary: 5 Stars for a perfect tour.

Excellent full day excursion, big thank you. Very interesting excursion and absolutely beautiful landscapes. Big thank you to Amer, our guide for this perfect day.
