Best desert experience ever - We visited lost city of Ubar and Wadi Dawkah, and then the black dromedary farms. We spent a beautiful night in the desert, seeing the best sunset ever. We stayed in a beautiful lodge with all comforts and ate typical food of the place. Our guide Khalid was so kind with us, as all the staff of the sand camp. It has been one of the best experiences we’ve ever done. Thanks to Oman, it’s beautiful places and kind people!!!

Wonderful experience at the desert - Everything went smooth. My tour guide Khalid picked me up at the airport on time, he was thoughtful and knowledgeable at every spot on the way to the desert. Watching sunset at the desert and walking around desert was the best experience. At the camp site, I enjoyed stars, shisha and conversations with my guide and other tour members. Khalid was very kind and thoughtful all the way, kept checking in with my needs. It was so fun and unforgettable. Thank you!

Unforgettable night in the desert. - The tour guide Khalid was punctual, attentive, helpful for all our needs and very nice. The driving in the sand dunes was spectacular and managed to take us up and away from the many cars present so that the sunset we could enjoy on our own. The camp well organized; good dinner and the after dinner around the fire under the stars in companions of other guests very funny. Even the dawn was unforgettable.

Perfect Anniversary Celebration in the Desert - We had a wonderful experience with Glory Tours. Our tour guide, Khalid, was very skilled, friendly, and professional. We experienced a sunset desert safari over the top of the dunes, and it was truly amazing. Khalid was extremely careful while driving on the dunes, especially since my wife is pregnant—he kept checking on us throughout the ride, which made us feel very safe and comfortable. We also had a memorable anniversary celebration on the dunes. It was an unforgettable experience and a must-visit trip!

Glorious Desert Sunset - We attended the desert sunset privat tour and it was absolutely amazing! Our guide Ahmed was very kind and also very funny, so we had a joyful and wonderful time. The whole tour was beyond expectations, but the highlight was definitely the time we have spent in the desert. Walking around on the sand feels like silk on the feet. And watching the magical sunset made us feel like we are on the top of the world. We will never forget these magical moments and this wonderful day! Thank you so very much!
