Organizacja perfekcyjna!Posted on Marios VlachogiannisTrustindex 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.Posted on cristina guerreschiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Amazing experience with Beautiful Salalah Tours! The sunset desert trip was fantastic from start to finish. I loved the funny dune riding, the visit to the frankincense trees, and the peaceful dinner under the stars at the desert camp. My guide, Abo Salim, was the best—very professional and a great personality who made the trip even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this company if you want a high-quality desert adventure!Posted on Xcy YupTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Grazie, Betful Salalah Company.

EXCELLENT Based on 842 reviews Posted on giannis kVerified ΟΜΑΝ ! Μια όμορφη χώρα ! Περάσαμε πολύ ωραία ! Απλά θα προτιμούσα να είμαι με το group μου και όχι να πάρουμε κι άλλους. Ή να περιμένουμε άλλους.Posted on Andrzej MVerified Amazing trip with Ania to Wadi Darbat- highly recommend Profesjonalizm w każdym calu. Byliśmy pod ogromnym wrażeniem wiedzy pani Ani – to Polka, która o Omanie wie chyba wszystko. Żadne nasze pytanie nie pozostało bez wyczerpującej odpowiedzi, co było dla nas kluczowe, by zrozumieć ten fascynujący region. Wycieczka do Wadi Darbat była zorganizowana perfekcyjnie, bez pośpiechu i w świetnej atmosferze. To biuro stawia na jakość i rzetelne informacje, a nie tylko „odklepanie” trasy. Zdecydowanie polecam każdemu, kto chce wywieźć z wakacji coś więcej niż tylko zdjęcia!Posted on Gabriela SVerified Amazing We had the time of our lives. The guide Mohammed Ali was the best, funny, friendly and very careful with us. The best experience ever!Posted on Пролет МVerified Desert sunset Mohammed - Ali was the best guide on our trip, he took us to amazing sports in the desert, we did dune bashing, unforgettable sunset. The dinner was so delicious and at the end he surprised us with special spot outside the trip - star watching. This was unforgettable experience, thank you Mohammed Ali.Posted on Desislava AVerified Amazing Safari We had a great day with Mohammed 😀 He picked up us from our hotel and all day he was our guide.We had a tour in English to explain all historical things. We visited black camels and we had amazing evening in the middle of desert. We waited for the sunset and after my dream to ride camel became real.Mohammed was so kind to be my photographer. We had traditional tea around the fire and traditional Oman dinner. In the end Mohammed stop the car to show as the beautiful sky with so many stars.Thank you 🙏 Mohammed 😀Posted on bernard bVerified Sand and sand Very nice discovery You must take this excursion when you are in Salalah Only downside I had asked for a guide speaking French but the guide spoke Arabic, English and Italian. My English is bad but we managed to understand each other.Posted on Piecia586Verified 100 % Prosesjonalizm. Serdecznie wszystkim polecam. Piotr W 100 % polecam wycieczki z Beautiful Salalah Tours. Bardzo mili ludzie. Bardzo sie staraja by kazdy byl zadowolony. Nawet jak czasami zepsuje sie ktorys z samochodow, to nie jest Ich wina bo takie rzeczy sie zdarzaja. Moahamad Ali super gosc. Szczegolne podziekowania dla Ani Tokarskiej, dzieki ktorej moja zona miala najcudowniesze urodziny o zachodzie slonca na pustyni! Wilekie dzieki dla wszystkich, ktorzy wtedy tam z nami byli! Big Respect to all of you!Posted on Paola PVerified Sunset in the desert Desert sunset, tour that deserves to be done. From Salalah visit to the park of incense trees, stop at the UNESCO site , but we did not enter .Finally, the tyres deflate and the journey over the dunes begins. To see the sunset well it is better to look for a high dune.I was very annoyed by the exaggerated display of off-road vehicles up and down the highest dunes to please tourists. A couple of cars got covered up in fact.Mohammed Ali was our fantastic guide.Cheerful and helpful, Arabic music and stories about Oman.And no car shows!Finally Bedouin dinner, we ate very well although I expected a "dining room" a little more characteristic.Posted on LucieVerified Excellent experience at the East coast. Complete experience exploring East Salalah with lots of amazing stops. Spectacular views, Taqar castle, camels, Wadi Darbat, baobab tree, anti-gravity point, the highest mountain, Mirbat beach etc. All well organised with nice & friendly Omani guys. It's a must see tour once you are in Salalah 🤩🙂Posted on LucieVerified Great trip to Fazayah beach ⛱️ Great trip to beautiful Fazayah beach. I really enjoyed this experience - it was well organised with enough time to relax, explore and take nice pictures 🙂 When in Salalah, I can only recommend to take this tour.
