We had our Tour Fatima last 23-24 Mar 2022. Tour guide Majd, an Omani local, was exceptional! We definitely recommend him as a guide. He did not only show us the culture and beauty of Oman, he showed us what Omanis really are: humble, hospitable, hard-working, and patriots. We visited Bimmah sinkhole, Wadi Shab, Wadi Tiwi, Ras Al Hadd turtle sanctuary, dhow factory and many more. More than that, we camped in the sur. Majd was really hands-on throughout the camp! He was also truly supportive in the wadis whenever we had difficulties in the hike and swimming. He was very knowledgeable about every place. He would explain bits of history even in the areas that you pass by in the road. If you have a plan to take any package from Oman Day Tours, we 100% recommend Majd. No doubt you will have a fantastic Oman experience.

We booked in for both Wahiba Sands and Jabal Shams day tours. Apart from a few changes we made to pickup point and date of tour that obviously didn´t get a 100 percent through to Oman Day Tours headoffice everything was very well organized. Our guide Muath was a wonderful person, full with stories on Omani daily life, on landscapes, vegetation, on food, on driving aso. Our kids loved him - and he cared to a max to our needs. Lunches at local restaurants, beverage supply - everything was perfect! So the „guide side" deserved 5 stars „plus". Unfortunately, we missed out the dune bashing in Wahiba Sands, but did some nice camel riding, and as the money for that stays with the locals, we had no problem with being too „touristy". We knew that it would be a long drive into the desert; having read the tour description BEFORE booking quite well... its all in there! Thank you for two perfect days.

This is a review of the tour Wahiba Sands and Wadi Bani Khalid. First things first: our guide - Hamuud - was great! He was friendly, knowledgeable and very caring. He bought us refreshments and even invited us to his place for tea! About the tour: one spends too much time on the road - about 6h. The overall balance between the time spend on the road and in the venues is far from ideal. The Wahiba sands are indeed beautiful and surely worth of a day(s) trip! However, this specific tour, because of the time restrictions, only provides a glimpse of the beauty and awesomeness of these dunes. There is some considerable amount of rubbish, mainly plastic, laying around. We were told the camels are responsible for this, as they graze through the rubbish bins and throw the plastic out. To better enjoy the dunes and the desert, we recommend one of the tours that cross the desert down to Oman’s south coast. Regarding the wadi Bani Khalid, we wrote a separate review.
