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.

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.

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.

Desert Magic Under a Sky Full of Stars Desert trip was one of the most powerful experiences in Oman. We saw frankincense trees growing in their natural habitat, met camels roaming freely, and enjoyed a camel ride at sunset. Dinner with the Bedouins had an incredible atmosphere – simple, authentic, under the open sky. And the night? Silence of the desert and a sky full of stars… pure magic. Truly unforgettable.

Great tour - super happy Fantastic experience, spacious, modern, comfortable car. Excellent, knowledgeable, competent and enthusiastic guide ALMAHDLI - patient, with a positive attitude, caring and warm manner, perfect man for the job! The tour covers main attractions, is not rushed, there is a great balance between historical sites, nature, some light hiking, views, culture, and even food/drinks. The price is honest, everything is well organised, I am so glad we chose Beautiful Salalah Tours!

Great Trip with Awesome Guide The trip is fantastic and we had a great time seeing the desert with such magnitude and beautiful sunset. Our guide Muhammad Ali is such a fun and pleasant guy to be with. He picked us up ahead of time and dropped us off right back where we got picked up. Despite very long driving, especially during Ramadan, he tried hard to entertain us and enlightened us with many interesting knowledge along the entire Journey. The trip was well organized and the team did a great job putting this together.

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 wyczerpuj cej odpowiedzi, co było dla nas kluczowe, by zrozumieć ten fascynuj cy 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!
