Best Human Guide - We took this trip to the Empty Quadruple Desert in Oman with Mohammed to see the sunset. We visited some tourist spots like the Dock Valley there. We saw the trees of Lebanon, then we went to the State of Tharait, which is on the road leading to the desert. There Mohamed invited us to drink coffee and tea, which he locally calls the Sunset. We then went to the Lost City of O'Bour, which is the most beautiful sight we saw in our lives.

Experienced, kind and great tour guide - Mohammed is a super experienced tour guide, gentle and kind. He speaks Italian very well along with English, he has a comfortable, clean car and knows how to guide his guests to feel the spirit of Oman and Salalah/Dhofar. I had a wonderful trip with him, I highly recommend him to anyone who wish to explore the desert and Salalah like a local.

Lush Landscape to sand dunes - Mohammed was a knowledgeable, helpful, generous, courteous guide. He’s an excellent driver and we felt he looked after us and others on the highway and the dunes.
We had history, tea, culture, and scenery from lush landscape, to farms, mountains, to wind blown barren dunes.
Highly recommend

Private desert trip - The tour was awesome, we recommend Mohammed 100%! He is a fantastic tour guide, very knowledgeable. He arrived in time with a clean car, stopped for a Karak drink, which is very local. We stopped at a national park, where he explained and told all about the history of frankincense tree, very interesting. Dunes were amazing, we went up to a huge one.

One of a kind... - We booked the tour for two people just two days prior. Mohammad promptly responded and confirmed our booking. He picked us up at our hotel punctually and even had drinks ready. His extensive knowledge about the area, nature, customs, and traditions made it evident that he is an experienced tour guide. He enthusiastically shared this knowledge with us. It was a unique experience that we highly recommend to all first-time visitors to Salalah. Thank you again, Mohammad, it was a wonderful day! Wishing you continued success and all the best! ♡♡ S.
