 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The most fantastic tour of our stay in Oman. The UNESCO Dawkah Wadi of frankensense. The rare Black Camels, the lost city, now found and the climax of dune bashing in the Empty Quarter and the desert sunset. Finishing with dinner in the desert night and star gazing.
Mohammed and his brother were perfect hosts with many interesting and amusing chats in the Land Cruiser travelling there and back.
Never a dull moment.
Please book with these guys, they are very accommodating, interesting, amusing and work hard to make your trip a memory for always.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a day trip to empty quarter. The trip was handled professionally. Our guide Muhammad Ali is a great cultural guide and took good care of us, despite long duration of driving in Ramadan. It was great having him with us on this journey.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing sunset tour in Salalah with our guide, Mohamed Ali, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Mohamed Ali was professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about the area. He didn't just drive us to the viewpoints - he explained the history, culture, and natural beauty of Dhofar in a way that made everything feel alive and meaningful. If you’re visiting Salalah and considering a sunset tour, I highly recommend booking with Mohamed Ali. It was one of the highlights of my trip.

Мой первый визит в Оман, очень дружелюбная страна и приятные люди, готовые помочь, если у Вас возникли трудности. Ехала с целью посетить Вади Дарбат, выбрала эту экскурсионную компанию в Салале.

 Verified A Memorable First International Family Trip – Thanks to an Amazing Team
This was our first international family trip, and it turned into a very memorable experience for us, largely because of the support and guidance we received from Beautiful Salalah Tours. A special thanks to Amina, who coordinated everything from the beginning. She was very supportive, patient, and flexible, and helped customize the itinerary exactly based on what we wanted. We had quite a long list of places to cover, and she worked with us to make the plan as practical as possible. Our guide, Abu Salim, made the trip even more special. He has excellent knowledge of Salalah, the local culture, routes, and the places we visited. More importantly, he understood very quickly what kind of experience we were looking for and adjusted the trip accordingly. He was friendly, patient, and made us feel very comfortable throughout the journey. Initially, I felt the price was a little high, but after completing the trip, I genuinely felt it was worth the cost considering the private vehicle, long hours, customized itinerary, and the quality of the guide and service. We were not able to cover every place we had originally planned, but that was completely from our side. We got tired and realized only after reaching Salalah that the number of places we selected would realistically need at least 3 days to enjoy properly. In fact, both Amina and Abu Salim had already explained this to us at the beginning, so this was purely our own planning mistake. Overall, we are very happy with the experience. For our first international trip, this became something we will remember for a long time. Thank you Amina, Abu Salim, and the Beautiful Salalah Tours team for making our Salalah trip so enjoyable and memorable. Highly recommended, especially for families looking for a private and customized tour experience.

 Verified Good Tour While in Salalah
We book the East Salalah Safari. The pickup time is on time, the Land Cruiser car is OK for 6 persons (but I think for people sitting in the most back side, the space is very small and I suggest to use bigger car for more than 4 persons). The journey to destinations is exciting in some parts. The guide (Abu Salim) really tries his best to make the tour enjoyful.

 Verified An Unforgettable Salalah Experience with Abu Salem
My experience with Beautiful Salalah Tours was one of the highlights of my visit to Salalah. A very special thank you to Abu Salem, who genuinely made the experience unforgettable. From the beginning, he was incredibly welcoming, friendly, respectful, and easy to talk to. It never felt like I was simply being taken from one tourist attraction to another — Abu Salem made the journey itself part of the experience. His knowledge of Salalah and Dhofar was excellent, and I really enjoyed hearing about the places we visited, the local culture, and Oman along the way. He was patient throughout the tour, never rushed me, and always made sure I was comfortable and enjoying my time. The scenery and places we visited were beautiful, but having such a kind and hospitable guide made the trip even more special. By the end of the tour, Abu Salem felt more like a local friend showing me around Salalah than simply a tour guide. The booking and communication with Beautiful Salalah Tours were also smooth and professional, and the itinerary gave me a great opportunity to experience the beauty of Dhofar. Thank you to the entire team, and especially Abu Salem, for such a memorable experience. I came to Salalah as a visitor and left with wonderful memories of both the place and the people. I would happily recommend Beautiful Salalah Tours and Abu Salem to anyone visiting Salalah. I hope to return to Oman again! 🇴🇲🌿

 Verified An Unforgettable Experience in Salalah 🤍
We had the best experience ever in Salalah! 🤍 On our first day, we took a tour of West Salalah, and Mughsail Beach, Marneef Cave and the cliffs were simply breathtaking 😍 I highly recommend booking your tour with our guide - Abu Salim. His planning was very well thought out, and he took us to a few extra hidden gems that weren’t even included in the tour. It made the experience feel so much more special and personal. On our last day we explored East Salalah and Abu Salim was also kind enough to drop us off at the airport ☺️ Beautiful Salalah Tours provided an excellent service from start to finish. Thank you for the incredible hospitality and for making our trip so memorable. We will definitely be back! 🤍 With love from Kazakhstan, Albina & Almira
