Wahiba Sand and Wadi Bani Khalid Guided Group Tour

Take part in a guided group tour of Oman’s Wahiba Sands and Wadi Bani Khalid to experience a remarkable combination of desert exploration and tranquil natural beauty.

My friend and I booked a one-day tour to Wadi Bani and the Wahiba Desert, and it was an incredible experience! Our guide, Saam, was fantastic—helpful, welcoming, and accommodating. He fulfilled all our requests and patiently answered all our questions. At the end of the tour, we even had the chance to meet Abdullah, the head of the company, who graciously took us to visit the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque. We felt completely safe throughout the trip and highly recommend this company for tours, even longer ones of 3-4 days, in Oman!

Our desert tour was absolutely incredible! We saw countless camels and even climbed a dune for spectacular views. Later, we had the chance to refresh ourselves in the stunning Wadi Bani Khalid. Our guide was outstanding, and we thoroughly enjoyed a tasty lunch and spending the day with him. It was a truly unforgettable experience!

Our driver, Asaad, was fantastic and went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable throughout the trip. The overall experience was absolutely worth it. However, the only letdown was having to pay for lunch, even though it was stated as included in the booking.

This tour was a fantastic experience! We began with a visit to Wadi Bani Khalid, where, after a short 10-minute walk, we had the chance to explore a cave. Following the cave exploration, we swam along the wadi, navigating small waterfalls perfect for sliding or jumping down. Keep in mind that both men and women are required to wear long clothing here. The crystal-clear water was incredibly refreshing. Afterward, we stopped at a shop offering traditional Ottoman sweets, which might not suit everyone's taste. We then headed to the Wahiba Sands, where we visited a Bedouin community. Following the visit, we ventured deeper into the desert and spent nearly two hours enjoying the dunes. We sled down the dunes and soaked in the warm rays of the sun. While the sunset wasn’t as striking as expected, it was still a beautiful moment to witness.

This was the best trip I’ve had in Oman! The Wadi was absolutely stunning, and we had an amazing time hiking, swimming, and exploring the cave. The desert sunset was breathtaking, and the entire experience was incredibly fun. Our guide was exceptional—super friendly, supportive, and treated us like family. He answered all my questions and encouraged us to embrace more adventurous activities. It was an unforgettable experience!

This was an incredible trip with our unforgettable guide, Hocé. He was highly attentive, open-minded, and shared fascinating insights about Omani culture. The oasis and desert were absolutely captivating. One of the highlights was Hocé's talent for photography—he’s practically a professional! He showed us the best spots and angles, ensuring we got amazing pictures to remember the trip by. Thank you so much for this enriching and memorable experience!

We were a group of five jeeps, each carrying four people. The long stretches on the highway and the off-road sections could have easily been handled with a regular car. The guides were friendly, and everything was managed punctually. Thank you very much!

While the locations we visited were beautiful, the tour was highly disappointing due to the unprofessionalism of the guides. It felt like we paid a lot of money for two young men to spend their day at the wadi and desert taking endless photos for their Instagram. The entire experience was disorganized, with no clear plan or informative guidance about the destinations or the itinerary. To make matters worse, they asked us to choose a restaurant for lunch, even though, as tourists, we obviously had no knowledge of the options. Overall, this tour was poorly managed and not recommendable.

Helpful? Yes

We had high hopes for this full-day activity, but unfortunately, it fell far short of our expectations. It was not worth the amount we paid. The desert dune cruising was minimal, lasting only a few bumpy minutes, and there was no sandboarding as advertised. Most of the time was spent sitting in the back of a 4x4. The only highlights were the lunch and the friendly couple we were paired with. This disappointing experience has made me reconsider whether I should use this app for future bookings.
