Highlights
  • Wadi Dawkha - Wadi Dawkah is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located near the city of Salalah . It is known for its significance as a frankincense tree reserve and is often referred to as the “Frankincense Park” .This site is an integral part of the Land of Frankincense World Heritage property in Oman.

Wadi Dawkah is home to a large number of Boswellia sacra trees, also known as the frankincense trees. These trees produce the resin known as frankincense, which has been a valuable commodity for centuries, used in religious ceremonies, perfumes, traditional medicine, and more.

The site is not a traditional park in the sense of recreational areas but rather a protected area aimed at preserving the natural habitat of these historic and culturally significant trees. Visitors can explore the groves and learn about the history and cultural importance of frankincense in the region.

The complete package for tourists such a guide. I recommend you choose Mahdi Salalah Tours and you will have quality - It was a very beautiful vacation that you can't forget thanks to the places, but especially the guide who walked us around, showed us and talked about everything that Salalah, Oman can show and offer. Thank you Mahdi Salalah Tours , Mohamed Baomar! I recommend it!

Stunning desert sunset trip - We had a wonderful time with Mohamed who is a friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating guide (plus a fantastic photographer!) . We visited Wadi Dawkah to see (and smell) the fabulous frankincense trees, wondered around the Lost City of Wubar and the final stop was the Empty Quarter- it was stunning! Mohamed drove us to a more private dune where we could watch the sun set. It was an amazing trip and we are so pleased we did it! Thankyou Mohamed!

A day trip you cannot miss if you’re visiting Salalah - Reach the Rub Al Khali desert by a very comfortable 4x4- A stunning experience I will recommend to anyone is visiting Salalah. The desert is amazing and also the stop at the ancient historical site of Wubar “the lost city” is very interesting

Great trip to the desert - We had an excellent trip to the desert thanks to our guide, Mohammed Baomar. He has broad knowledge about the area and about the country, which he could share effectively as he speaks English very well. I highly recommend him!

fairy tale land - All was very beautiful.An unforgettable vacation, a phenomenal guide Mahommed Baomar with a vast experience in explaining in detail everything I needed to know, to know about these wonderful places. For the first time I chose Salalah and I actually came to the conclusion that, at least once in my life, I must visit these authentic, real and fairy-tale lands

The treasure of Salalah - You cannot arrive in Oman and not visit the desert ! It was a unique experience, the guide provided us with everything we needed and we didn't miss anything throughout the safari. We enjoyed watching the sunset and we were left with lifelong memories.
