Full description
Cross the desert dunes of Muscat by 4WD vehicle, and experience the adrenaline rush of driving across the rugged terrain in an off-road mode of transport. Make your way to the Wahiba Sands to see the traditional homes of the desert nomads and Bedouin tribes. Keep a look-out for the nomads as they move through the desert with their camels. Visit a Bedouin home in the middle of the desert, and contrast the arid landscape with the clear, blue waters of Wadi Bani Khalid. Enjoy a relaxing siesta in the shade of the palm trees, and catch a glimpse of the pretty villages scattered across the slopes of the wadi. Marvel at how the houses cling precariously to the rugged mountain side. Bring your swimming costume to take a dip in the inviting waters!

We had a fantastic time at the Muscat desert tour. The drive through the dunes in the 4x4 was exciting and unforgettable. Nassir, our driver and tour guide, was extremely professional and friendly. We visited the home of a Bedouin family and witnessed the contrast between the desert and the clear waters of Wadi Bani Khalid (Swimming T-shirt for men) The tour was impressive and we recommend it to anyone who appreciates the beauty of the desert and Bedouin culture want to experience. Thank you Nassir for a memorable tour! Note: The drive from Muscat to the desert takes about 2 hours, the return from the Wadi 2.5 hours.

Hammoud was a great guide! On the way there we learned a lot about the history and traditions of Oman. Arrived in the desert, the dune bashing started straight away. This was super fun! Hammoud knew the Bedouin family and we received a warm welcome. After a short camel tour we continued to Wadi Bani Khalid - a beautiful oasis to relax. Attention: only long swimwear allowed! All in all a wonderful day and definitely 100% recommendation for this tour and a big thank you to Hammoud!

Nabil was a very friendly, courteous and extremely experienced guide. He guided us safely and informatively through the desert and Wadi Bani Khalid. Furthermore, he gave us extremely interesting recommendations for our further journey and gave us background information on Omani culture and society. We would do a tour with him again at any time.
