Vé di động

Cross the desert dunes 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!

Wadi Bani Khalid

Wadi Bani Khalid is one of the best-known wadis in the Sultanate of Oman.[ Its stream maintains a constant flow of water throughout the year. Large pools of water and boulders are scattered along the course of the wadi. As a geographical area, the wadi covers a large swathe of lowland and the Hajar Mountains.

It was such a fun day trip, thanks to Mazin. The desert was fantastic. We met locals for coffee and dates, saw camels, drove the dunes, sandboarding, and watched a beautiful sunset. Food was great, and we highly recommend this tour for all.
Nice Places - Long Drive - Short Stay

Total trip time was 10 hours for us since our hotel was near Muttrah - would be 1 hour shorter for most people. We spent ~30 mins in the desert, 30 mins at a side-of-the-road lunch spot, and 1 hour at the Wadi, meaning 8 hours in the car. The desert was an experience - we're glad to have seen it. 30 mins was more than enough for us - maybe better at sunset. The wadi was beautiful, but was tainted by very loud construction going on right beside the water, which also affected the air quality. Many women were not allowed to swim because of "inappropriate" swimwear. Would recommend to wear shorts and a tshirt to avoid any risk. Overall, the time at the locations is far too short to justify the drive. We were lucky to meet a nice couple who we spoke to for most of the drive that made the commute bearable. If I would do this trip again - I would hire a car, skip the desert, and go to a Wadi much closer to Muscat instead. With this trip, you're really paying for a driver who can take you in and out of the desert safely and can give you some information about the locations.
Fantastic day out

This is much better for outdoor swimming than Wadi Shab. Although it was very busy there, it was big enough that there was plenty of space to swim without feeling crowded. The desert was amazing; although I’ve seen desert before, this is the first time I’ve been able to run barefoot in the sand. The sunset was stunning. Our guide, Hood, was a great driver. There were only four of us in the group and I was lucky enough to be with a lovely, extremely friendly group of people.
Wonderful day tour

This was the most wonderful day swimming in the refreshing waters of Wadi Bani Khalid, lunching in a Bedouin dwelling, sand boarding down the dunes and watching sunset over the desert. This is a long day - at least 10 hours, so have a good breakfast. Good idea to bring water shoes for the wadi and sun screen. Ahmed was a brilliant guide - thoroughly recommend him.
enjoyable but mixed reviews in our group if worth the time investment

mixed reviews in our group if the tour was worth the time we spent (~10 hours) wadi bani watering hole was nice but tricky climbing the terrain to get to the water to swim 2 piece swimsuits are definitely problematic - read up on swimming attire for women before you go!!! the bedouin camp was cool but the souq was basically a table in a tent at the bedouin camp of crafts by the local ladies. do not recommend doing henna there - they charged 3 rials per hand and the results were TERRIBLE! the camel ride was also 3 rials - one in our group did it and enjoyed himself but it was a short ride (10 mins?) it was nice to go outside of Muscat to see the landscape, etc and sunset on the sand dunes was nice our guide was polite but didn't engage with us too much (unless we asked questions - he answered but he didn't offer information without being prompted). but he was very generous with his time to take us to the grocery to pick up snacks before dropping us off at our hotel at the end of the tour.

OUTSTANDING!!!! Our amazing guide, Mohammed was very engaging, patient (answering all our questions), fun, and informative about this stunning part of Oman! Our party of 4 plus Mohammed set off for a 2 hr drive to the Wahiba Desert, we stopped at a Bedouin home which was really interesting, were given a lovely greeting and fresh dates and Omani coffee (I found this very pleasant, not being a black coffee drinker), we then set off for the sand dunes, plenty of time for climbing, view and taking photos. Next stop was Wadi Bani Khalid, a stunning oasis where we had plenty of time to swim and soak up the atmosphere and views. A real highlight! If you are like me, I was worried about swimwear and where to get changed - never fear, we stopped just before the Wadi to change, also there are little tents there but you will pay to use. If you do not have the appropriate swimwear (women only, see my pic for what to wear) you do have an option to be taken to a more secluded area. This trip was well worth the money and Mohammed made it a stand out memory for us, thank you!
