A very well organized trip that brought me and my family incredible experiences. especially the sunset in the desert is beautiful. The guide was very pleasant and gave us a lot of information. We also had a rental car from the same company and everything was in perfect order. I recommend it to everyone.

The tour was great and our guide Azuz is a nice guy very experienced.
The desert is not to be missed when in Salalah and the private tour is the best way to live it with your timing.

Wir wurden von unserem Guide vor dem Hotel abgeholt und in einen Teil der Wüste gefahren, wo man definitiv nicht allein hin gekommen wäre, auch mit einem Allrad Fahrzeug nicht. Unvergessliche Tour. Auf dem Weg dahin noch einen Kamel Eigentümer aufgesucht und Kamel Milch gekostet. Sehr lecker. Unterhaltsame und interessante Tour, wenn auch nicht ganz günstig.
