Highlights
  • Wadi Bani Khalid - Wadi Bani Khalid (or Wadi Hayer as it’s also called). It’s literally a paradise that will allow you to refresh after the stuffy desert. Wadi Hayer is an oasis with a sparkling waterfall surrounded by huge rocks and date palms from all sides. The water is crystally clean and transparent here. We should mention that it’s not just a single point \’97 it covers a wide range of near set villages. Tourists also have a chance to get into the caves, but they should be accompanied by the experienced guide.

  • Wahiba Sands - Wahiba Sands is a desert region that is the part of the Al Sharqiya Sands of Oman. This place will definitely stay memorable for everyone. You’ll see the dunes that may reach up to 200 meters and which are created by wind, white and red sands. The unique sunsets, camels and untouchable nature - these are just a small list of things you’re going to see and experience.

Additional Information

Have you contemplated an expedition across a vast, sandy desert and experiencing intense heat firsthand? If so, the Wahiba Wilderness Tour is tailor-made for you!

Navigate the sandy plains in a 4WD vehicle, feeling the thrill of traveling over rough terrain in this robust off-road transporter. Visit the Wahiba Sands to observe the classical dwellings of roaming desert people and Bedouin clans.

Keep an eye out for the wanderers as they traverse the desert with their camels. Experience a Bedouin home nestled in the heart of the desert and observe the stark contrast of the barren landscape and the crystal-clear waters of Wadi Bani Khalid.

Indulge in a peaceful rest beneath the shelter of palm trees and catch sight of quaint villages nestled on the wadi slopes. Take a moment to be awestruck at how the residences cling dangerously to the rugged mountainside. Remember to pack your swimming attire to immerse yourself in the inviting waters!

Amazing guide! - We had an amazing experience with our guide Ilya! He told us everything about the Muscat City, about the desert and oasis. We had a pleasant conversation during the whole day, some funny action in the desert and got a nice lunch at the oasis. 10/10 would recommend!

Great day trip from muscat - Ilya arrived bang on time to pick us up from our accommodation - comms we’re great. Air conditioned lovely car with WiFi - and Ilya told us about lots of buildings as we passed through muscat - he is extremely knowledgable anf friendly. The drive was long but worth it - we went to wadi bani khakis which is very special. Ramadan meant there were almost no other visitors (which I like!) - so we had the place almost to ourselves which was magical. We then went to the desert and spent some time driving around sand dunes - being in the vast open desert is another great experience - plus we rod a camel for a short time which was fun. It’s a long drive from muscat but comfortable - and Ilya was the perfect host.

An amazing day tour - Thank you for an amazing day tour into the Oman desert. We enjoyed the cave pools and drive into seeing local life in the desert. We had the opportunity to try coffee and dates - a must! A very comfortable vehicle with air conditioning and Wi-Fi available. A knowledgeable driver and tour guide whose first language is not English but was excellent. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Worth the wait - It was a long day with a long drive but the oasis in the parched landscape and sand dunes that literally stretch as far as the eye can see was worth it.
