About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Ali S0 contributionsAn enjoyable safari desert day out.I went there with my son .with infinite tours oman. I praise the guide Mohamed who was very nice and helpful and made rhetorical trip more pleasant, we went to Wahiba desert first and we really enjoyed. Later went to wadi bani khaled where we had a swim to freshen us up . Highly recommended.Written 12 August 2024
- 137jawade0 contributionsAmazing tripOne of the best tours i have every had. Super friendly. Thanks to brother khalid for the trip. It was super nice and smoothWritten 9 June 2024
- terriclaye0 contributionsIMO Don't cruise with Royal Caribbean!! And here's why...What ever you do...DONT book a cruise with Royal Caribbean International...they will RIP YOU OFF!! We book an average of 3 - 6 cruises a year, usually with NCL...I made a reservation for a year from now and they will not refund my deposit!! Over $1400.00!! Their website is a disaster with links that do not work and hard to navigate...when I called them to speak to someone at 7:28 EST this morning...I got a recording saying that their office is closed...call back during their working hours from 7am to 2am EST...which is posted on their website WITH the phone number to call...I had to call back and pretend that I was making a NEW reservation to actually speak to a person! They did allow me to cancel the drink package that I purchased...BUT, the "cancellation" receipt that I received from them shows the refund amount as $0!! WTH?!! I can't believe that their business practices are not CRIMINAL!! I think one of our Government Agencies need to investigate their business practices! I could understand if I was cancelling a reservation a month prior to sail date...BUT a whole YEAR FROM NOW?!! INEXCUSABLE!!! They have just cemented our terrible experience with them and we will NEVER take another Royal Caribbean International cruise again!! If anyone asks me who to use to have a wonderful cruise experience, it will definitely NOT BE Royal Caribbean International!!!Written 23 May 2024
- Offtoseetheworld_590 contributionsGreat scenary buying dishwashs and eating like a localVery prompt pickup and off to Nizra -wonderful tour of the souqs, fortress and castle. Then a very scenic drive Jebal Shams followed by lunch of the best schwarma ever. A long day but so worth it.Written 29 April 2024
- Caroline H0 contributionsLatifa tourWow ! Our guide Aziz was the epitome of Omani hospitality . He treated us with such care and kindness and went above and beyond expectation . Despite floods in Oman and adapting the tour to suit conditions he was patient and safe and showed us so much of this beautiful country , culture and landscape with experiences that made this tour unique . Everyday was full and interesting and we trusted the choices Aziz made and he was also very flexible with our requests and adapted the itinerary . We saw a side of Oman that we weren’t expecting - wet weather - but this made the whole experience more powerful , especially the dessert, the crossings of Wadis and stopping to assist a Bedouin family pull their car from being bogged in the river showed us a side of the community that all helps each other and ready to stop and help when needed . We felt like guests and travellers and not at all like tourists . Aziz hosted us at his home for lunch on the last day and this was an absolute delight and surprise . I cannot praise our tour and guide enough and would recommend to any visitor to Iman if they want to see the REAL OMAN Well done Aziz , we couldn’t have experienced this without you ❤️Written 19 April 2024

- SUNILDASWANEY0 contributionsTERRIBLE EXPERIENCEKhasab is an extremely ordinary place with nothing attractive at all to see and enjoy. I would not suggest this place at all for sightseeing.Written 23 March 2024
- Andrei-Ionut0 contributionsFabulous day in the desert with a stop at the WadiThe day started smoothly, my guide, Khaled being on time and ready to guide me through the sands of Oman. He knows everything from geography, history, and local traditions, and this made the trip even more interesting. We passed a small souq where he explained the use of every item and their use in local traditions. We then went to a Bedouin house to chill and enjoy some Omani coffee. There is the option there to go Dune bashing, but I opted out. One can also go for a camel ride there. I opted to go in the Dunes for a photo session and just admire the Nature. Afterwards, we went to Wadi Bani Khaled to cool off. I never felt rushed, and could really take the time to swim and admire the lush vegetation of the Wadi. All in all it was all that I expected from such a tour.Written 19 March 2024
- PaulMartinMX970 contributionsOne of the best experiences!Khalid was the best guide one could ask for!! Extremely attentive, great conversation, and always sharing interesting facts about the place. He was always willing to take cool pictures and videos of me, which meant that, as a solo traveler, I didn’t have any problem enjoying Oman to the fullest. Amazing experience all around!Written 10 March 2024
- 27webs0 contributionsExceptional trip with KhaledThe tour was great and my guide, Khaled, was exceptional! Besides the scheduled stops at Nizwa souq and fort, Al Hamra & Misfat, he also made sure I saw the village Bait al Safah which was impressive. We had a great lunch during the trip and throughout the drive we talked about Oman, the people, culture, politics, football...Khaled knew it all. This is a tour you shouldn't miss if you are in the Muscat area! 6 stars out of 5!Written 8 March 2024
- U5535FVpatrickh0 contributionsBeautifull friendly OmanAt the first morning Azziz from Oman Day Tours was waiting with a big smile in the lobby. He informed what our Points of Interests were, so he adapted part of the trip to our wishes. Oman delivered excellent Hotel rooms. A trip never to forget and giving us the envy of discovering the rest of Oman and we will surely contact Azziz again. Job well done AzzizWritten 4 March 2024

All of that was possible thanks to Muneer, who was our incredible guide!! He was kind, helpful and patient answering the 181839 questions we had about the country, culture, food, politics, economy, food and everything basically! He made the experience an unforgettable one and allowed us to really get to know the country. We would do it again without any doubt, so we highly recommend it!Written 7 February 2024

- johnandjudis0 contributionsWadi Bani & Wahibi Desert SafariThe hotel pickup was right on time, and our tour guide Abdulla was very friendly and professional. He gave us great information on the various sites. He also told us some interesting facts about some of the Omani culture. We had terrific day- Wadi Bani Khalid and the Wahibi desert should be on the “must see” list for any visit to Muscat or the surrounding area. Highly recommend the late morning tour so you can the sunset from a Wahibi sand dune.Written 20 January 2024

we arrived by ship, and as promised on my previous confirmation emails driver was waiting for us right outside at designated spot.
our day was to go visit wadi shab, hike and swim, then make a quick stopover at the sinkhole.
everything was gorgeous and great.
it was a scorching hot day. this excursion is only and should only be booked if you are in good shape. there is a lot of hiking, and rocks are slippery. if you are not prepared to hike the heat, and walk at least 3 miles , do not book it .
views are spectacular. you will be rewarded for your had work.
if you are not in that good shape, I highly recommend going to sinkhole only.
there are even stairs to the swimming area and it still gorgeous and fun to do.
we ended up not swimming there and my friends that were with us, wished that we did not go to wadi shab and only went to swimming hole. it would have been a lot less of a work out.

We actually did 3 tours with them, and our guide Khalil. He was kind, and super fun and welcoming. We did the 1/2 day city tour, this one and the Nizwa one. All amazing.
Thanks for the exceptional experiences, memories and for being an ambassador for Omani hospitality.

There are so many levels of tours. But I take two kinds, the first is the most sophisticated, its the find me something unique get me off the beaten path tour and the second is the hey I'm in a strange country make it easy and safe for me to see the tourist highlights.
My guide was Abdul Malik, a pleasant man and competent for style two trips, but he didn't bring any real insights to my visit. Mostly I think because his english was too basic for us to communicate at a high level.
We did have fun together and it was good exercise climbing the Wadi.
From what I can tell this tour is about a nice walk in a beautiful place. Be warned however the terrain is tricky, over pebbles and smooth slippery rocks and in the end if you want to swim, getting to the pristine waters is a challenging swim walk up a canyon not accessible on foot. 10 minute swim maybe.
I would not go out of my way to take this journey or recommend it. I took three other tours with Oman day Tours all more interesting and successful. You can read about them here in TA.
