Wadi Bani Khalid Tour, Highly Recommend - The itinerary was simple, which made the experience much more manageable. Our guide Mohammed was extremely knowledgeable about the rich culture of the country and very helpful. He went over and above to make sure that we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The food was was amazing, the views were gorgeous and we enjoyed the dessert activities. Could not recommend this experience enough.

His warmth and the way he treated us as his guests and explained to us every single thing during our tour was something to be applauded.

Good trip - Great communication from the driver about pick ups etc. Pick up on time. There were 4 of us in total in a big jeep type cruiser. It’s a 2.5 hour drive out into the desert to the wadi and we did a bit of off tossing to reach a Bedouin tent to have coffee and dates. Then on to the wadi for lunch and swim. The water is lovely but it’s not the easiest getting in and out. I really enjoyed the trip and thought it was great value for money. There is a lot of driving and a fair bit of walking around the wadi. It was 44 degrees so this can be a challenge. I would do this trip again
