Best trip ever with Saud the guide your from Compass tour - I have done so many trips in my life from Morocco to Philippines, Thailande, Indonesia, Turkey, etc...This trip I will never ever forget it. I will tell to my child, grand child etc...The moment that Saoud pick us to the drop off, we (my cousine and I had an amazing time). I don't know where to start, everythink was perfect, the itineray that we choose with his boss, ( and I was very very picky and difficult, but he made his best to please me) the stop that we made along the road, the night in the desert, Jabel al khadar. we were, 2 woman we felt so safe with Saoud, alwasy doing his best to make us confortable, water, lunch, (pee stop...you know how womane we can be...). Never complain, always having a smile in his face. Good driver. Perfect tour guide, perfect country. I know it sounds too good to be true, but over there I felt being at home, safe, secure and enjoyed every second of that trip. and the price we paid was fair enough. I will recommend 1000000000%. I shared the contact with all my friends and colleagues that they asked me about this trip. They said I changed. Even my family want to do a road trip with Saud specifically

Amazing desert trip - Best Tour I ever have done. 2 nights in the desert. Amazing! Musab prepared very good food for dinner. Daytime we went to Wadi Bani....for swimming and relaxing and to enjoy the great nature of Oman. The tour was organised very well. Good information about the life in desert. I will never forget this trip. Musab best tour guide, he is Omani and know a lot about the country, whatever you want to know, he gives you all the information you want. Thanks a lot to Compass tour's.

Best Tour to Discover the Desert - Hey, me and my family decided to visit the desert of Oman. We found Oman Compass Tours on the internet. We are so happy to see the original people who live in the desert. The people are so friendly and welcoming. We had a great experience driving on the sand with our professional tour guide Saud. Next, we took off to Wadi Bani Khaled and swam in the natural pool. I recommend this activity to those who will visit Oman. Thanks, Oman Compass Tours.
