Our guide, Tahar, was highly knowledgeable and gave us deep insights not only into the stunning scenery and natural environment but also into Oman’s rich history, culture, and way of life. It was both educational and inspiring. This is a must-do experience for anyone looking to explore Oman beyond the usual tourist spots. Highly recommended!Written December 29, 2024
- manuel_hendel0 contributionsAmazing Desert Adventure in OmanWe had an incredible desert trip in Oman that exceeded all our expectations. Our journey started with a visit to Wadi Bani Khalid, where we swam in the crystal-clear waters surrounded by breathtaking scenery. It was truly a highlight! Our group consisted of six people—three adults and three kids aged 10 to 14. We had a private car and driver just for us, which made the experience even more personal and enjoyable. Our driver was exceptionally friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. During the drive to the Wadi, he shared fascinating facts, cultural insights, and historical details about Oman, which made the trip even more enriching. Our second stop was in the desert, where we visited a Bedouin camp and had the chance to ride camels—a memorable experience for both kids and adults. Then came the most thrilling part of the day: dune bashing! Our driver skillfully navigated the towering sand dunes, giving us an adrenaline-pumping adventure that we will never forget. This trip was a perfect combination of natural beauty, cultural experiences, and excitement. Highly recommended for families and anyone looking for an unforgettable day in Oman!Written December 29, 2024

We arrived Muscat yesterday after a very stressful week in London wondering and worrying whether we would passed the PCR tests + whether Oman would stop us Brits entering the country. What a relief on arrival to Muscat and start our Arabian adventure. Muscat by night is our first tour and we have a truly fabulous evening. We are extremely pleased to have Saif Al Brashdi as our tour guide. We are a party of seven - 3 generations with the youngest at 4 years of age. Saif is professional, experienced and patience. He is also a perfect companion to go shopping with. I thought I was good at bargaining but Saif is totally at another level. He truly went above and beyond to make our first visit to Muscat memorable. I would definitely recommend Wabar Tours and if you are lucky like us, you may have Saif as your private tour guide too.
