“We had an absolutely AMAZING day! Hamood was our guide, who is very passionate about Oman, its culture and, of course, the dessert. We felt very safe due to his skillful driving. The dunes were just incredible. We first visited the Bedouin house, rode camels, after which Hamood brought us to a beautiful sunset spot! After dunes we had a dinner at another incredible place with fantastic food. All day was just perfectly tailored to us and we were just so lucky with Hamood. We would do this day all over again if we had more time in Oman. ☺️”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 14 reviews · 9 hours · from $400

Review of Oman’s 9-hour Wadi Bani Khalid and Wahiba Sands tour, with swimming, sunset, 4x4 driving, costs, guides, and practical tips.

“Our guide was very kind and respectful, but it felt more like we had a driver than an actual guide. At the Wadi, he just dropped us off, and we had to ask a local guide there to show us where to go especially for the waterfalls. That made us lose some time.
