Great trip exploring Oman with Abdullah - I recently completed the second great trip with Abdullah. This time we visited the sinkhole, two wadis, and the turtle reserve. He is very knowledgeable and flexible to the client's needs. He ensures that you have a good time and see and experience the best of Oman. I would highly recommend it.
