A really fun and memorable day in stunning Omani landscapes - We spent memorable day with Ghusun. He is funny but he treated us with so much respect like we were his guests, not tourists visiting Oman. He showed us beautiful Omani landscapes and the highlight of the day trip was the sunset in the Wahiba sand dunes. Ghusun is really skilled at driving in the dunes and we had so much fun dune bashing with him. While driving back to Muscat, we discussed life, religion and future expectations in our lives. When he left, it felt like I was leaving a friend behind in Oman. Thanks heaps brother Ghusun

An unforgettable experience - Ahmed was a fantastic tour guide and the perfect example of Omani hospitality. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting an authentic Omani experience. The entire tour was catered to our preferences and we were lucky enough to see the sunset over the Wahiba sand dunes as per Ahmed’s recommendation.

Amazing experience - We had a fantastic experience with Sunshine Tours for our Wahiba Desert ride. Everything was very well organized from start to finish. The transfer from the meeting point was smooth, and the 4×4 drive into the desert was thrilling yet felt very safe. Our driver Fawzi was professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about the desert. He made sure we were comfortable throughout the ride and took us to some beautiful spots for photos. The dune bashing was exciting and fun, and the views of the desert were absolutely stunning.

Top Shelf Memory and Experience - My trip to Wahiba Sands and Wadi Bani was nothing short of unforgettable, and that is entirely thanks to my incredible guide Nasr. From the very beginning, he was exceptionally prompt, professional, and welcoming, instantly making me feel comfortable and excited for the long day ahead. He is a very engaging guide with a genuine passion for Oman, its landscapes, and its culture, which came through in every part of the journey. He drove safely and confidently throughout, allowing me to fully relax and enjoy the dramatic desert dunes and the stunning beauty of Wadi Bani. Along the way, he went above and beyond, taking fantastic photos of me in the best sand dune location, knowing exactly where and when the light would be perfect. These are photos I will treasure. He also surprised me by finding an excellent local restaurant en route, giving me an authentic and delicious taste of the region that I never would have discovered on my own, and for only 3.5 OMR. One of the highlights was being introduced to cardamom milk tea with a sprinkle of saffron along the way, learning about its cultural significance and slowly sipping it along the way. What truly set him apart, though, was his willingness to go the extra mile, literally and figuratively. After sunset, instead of rushing back, he stayed late to join an impromptu wood-burning coffee session with a local family. Sharing coffee, stories, and laughter in that moment (none of which I understood) felt incredibly special and authentic, and it perfectly captured the warmth and generosity of Omani culture. He also knows how to tie a legit looking head scarf! This was not just a tour, it was a deeply personal, immersive experience. If you are considering a trip to Wahiba Sands or Wadi Bani, I cannot recommend this guide highly enough. He turned an amazing destination into a truly extraordinary experience.

Perfect way to see Oman - Our tour was amazing and truly unforgettable. Our guide, Fawzi, was timely, patient, attentive and professional throughout the whole trip. My wife and son enjoyed his expertise and kindness that made them feel comfortable. He took the time to explain everything and answered all the questions we had. If you’re planning a visit outside of Muscat, I recommend Sunshine Tour and be sure to ask for Fawzi if you can. He took care of us and made this trip so much better.
