Great experience - Mohammed made our trip to Salalah truly unforgettable. From the lush mountains to the serene beaches, every spot was brought to life with his knowledge and warmth. The highlight? Watching the sunset in the vast desert of Rub Al Khali — absolutely magical. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Recommended desert trip - We really liked the tour. Our guide Mohammed was very friendly and showed us a lot. A very good motorist, it was a lot of fun to drive him in a jeep over the sand dunes. A really highly recommended trip, we would do it again anytime. Thanks for the beautiful day and the great desert experience!

Recommended - While not picked up by the agency owner like other reviews have stated, we had an amazing driver who went above and beyond to make this a great experience. The unplanned star gazing stop was a delightful treat. Recommended.

A truly memorable experience - A memorable experience. Our guide Mohammed drove us safely and made sure that we had the best experience. Our son can’t stop talking about meeting the baby black camels. Watching the sunset from high up on the sand dunes was truly sublime.

Oman I ♥️You - “The fourth void” the desert in everyone’s imagination! Mohamed our guide, attentive, kind and helpful. The journey from Salalah is long but the road is full of emotions. The scenery as far as the eye can see, the incense trees, the dromedaries, everything was the setting for the arrival at the beautiful dunes and one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen.

Salalah Desert - The trip into the desert with a stop by the incense trees and the camels was very successful. The sunset in the desert is a great experience. In the desert, the temperatures are very pleasant and the drive back to Salalah was entertaining. Our driver Mohammed was very friendly and spoke very good English.

Anytime again - An unforgettable tour into the desert. Mohammad is a great guide who tells a lot about local and cultural events. He speaks fluent Italian, is very friendly and accommodating. Our highlight was the visit to the black camels, including milk tasting, the wonderful sunset on the deserted dunes and the delicious food in the camp, including the overnight stay in the tent where we were the only guests. We smoked hookah by the campfire and enjoyed the sunrise in the morning. We can only recommend the tour to anyone.
