Great tour - super happy - Fantastic experience, spacious, modern, comfortable car. Excellent, knowledgeable, competent and enthusiastic guide ALMAHDLI - patient, with a positive attitude, caring and warm manner, perfect man for the job! The tour covers main attractions, is not rushed, there is a great balance between historical sites, nature, some light hiking, views, culture, and even food/drinks. The price is honest, everything is well organised, I am so glad we chose Beautiful Salalah Tours!

Dhofar explored. - Oman is a beautiful country and our guide and driver, Mohamed Ali was first class. Wadi Darbat is a cool oasis of a place which even at this time of year is a wide river but not full enough for the latter falls to run..It was a great day out.

Excellent experience at the East coast. - Complete experience exploring East Salalah with lots of amazing stops. Spectacular views, Taqar castle, camels, Wadi Darbat, baobab tree, anti-gravity point, the highest mountain, Mirbat beach etc. All well organised with nice & friendly Omani guys. It's a must see tour once you are in Salalah 🤩🙂

Mountains,beaches and history. - This was a very interesting tour,where we had the opportunity to see many different local areas. Our guide Mohammid Ali was excellent, he was very knowledgeable and had brilliant English. He was a local man from Taqah, which we visited, and was able to share alot of information about local customs and history. He was first class. Our only complaint is that the tour was advertised as 6-8hours and it was much shorter. We had seen everything on the itinerary after 4 hours and our guide kindly offered to take us to an extra town, Mirbat, to ssee the fishing boats and market. We saw some beautiful scenery including mountains, beaches and historical landmarks and many camels.

Great tour with great guide - Nice trip. Well organized. Unfortunately, the pictures of Wadi Darbat are deceiving. This is what it looks like only in July/August. Now more or less almost no green. Waterfall dried up. Our guide Mohammed Qahour very competent and very nice. Always responded to all questions and extra requests. All in all, a good excursion that brought us closer to Oman. Country and people very nice and accommodating. It won't be the last trip.
