About
This hike starts from the Wadi (a dry waterway) just minutes from the hotel grounds. You can get an accurate picture of the natural wadi systems, admiring the various shrubs and shrubs in this fertile mountain landscape and the formations of the rocks. The hike ends near an impressive rock formation, which becomes a spectacular natural waterfall in the rainy season. Climb up to discover the abandoned village of Sarab (which is closest to the hotel), the original home of the local people. Some are closely associated with the hotel today. Go on an expedition, go into the houses and put yourself in the life of that time not so long ago. You can get on the gravel path to the main road leading to the hotel.

Everything was amazing! Great hotel selection with breakfast included, delicious lunch and organized itinerary. I had the best tour guide ever (Hamaid Ahmed Alamri)! Kind and patient, he went above and beyond to exceed ALL my expectations! I loved Oman and went returning will not hesitate to contact this company again.

- Deborah_Vezzosi_70 contributionsBest tour in Oman!!My boyfriend and I embarked on a two day tour, we were entrusted with Said as a guide, a young guide who immediately put us at ease, was very professional and took care of us throughout the time spent together, he was very patient with us and gave us all the time we needed to finish the visits, meals and photos 😂. We filled him with questions about Oman and its culture and he always answered us kindly and helped us understand its traditions. Needless to say, he has satisfied us on everything and is also a great photographer! It was a beautiful tour that I highly recommend to those visiting this beautiful countryWritten January 6, 2023

Special thank you the tour guide Mr. Monther. He knows a lot and his sense of humour is just amazing. I truly enjoyed his company. Everything was very professional and on time. I can say that they made me to want to visit Oman again. I can strongly recommend this tour and this guide to everybodyWritten December 18, 2022
- Freedom205168456540 contributionsFantastic trip.I had most remarkable trip with our guide Khalid, Not only everything was perfect, but we felt, in every instance, that our guide Khalid truly cared about us. I liked the hike, nature, fish spa, and the food was perfect. Most importantly Khalid is a good in desert drifting 😁. The greatest value compared with the price. Thanks a lot.Written December 11, 2022
- 257juliad0 contributionsOutstanding tour of West SalalahI am a first time visitor to Oman and Salalah. Ghanim was an excellent guide! He provided so much information about Oman and Salalah. He provided great communication ahead of the tour so that I knew what to expect and what to bring on the day. He took me to several “secret” locations and we were able experience some absolutely stunning locations in Oman. I intend to visit Oman again next year and will not hesitate to book again with Ghanim.Written December 7, 2022
- Cherie C0 contributionsAmazing experience not to be missed!!We signed up for a private day trip to Bimmah sinkhole, Wadi Bani Khalid and Wahiba Sands with Aryaf Jibreen tourism after reading tons of packages and reviews from different companies online. We liked the recommendations and flexibility and the relatively reasonable pricing, so we decided to go with them in the end. We had Bader as our guide for the day and I couldn’t be happier with our experience! Not only had he demonstrated the best version of Omani hospitality, he’s also got great sense of humour and our whole trip had been filled with laughter and giggles (and also food & drinks 😂) We were welcomed by Bader at the hotel lobby and he took us with his land cruiser. Before we set off, he explained the time needed to travel between places and was a good timekeeper throughout the journey. He’s got a fridge ready in the vehicle where he prepared water and some juice to quench our thirst, and also some dates, tahina dips, karak tea and Omani coffee (my favourite) to make sure we don’t starve during the day. Lunch was included in this tour and we were taken to a Omani/ Yemeni restaurant for some really yummy camel meat and lamb shuwa (eating on the floor like a local!) My favourite part of the tour was definitely the Wahiba sands…!!! at first I was worried and skeptical coz I read on the internet before that some other tour companies would only stop at rundown spots and the photos taken would not turn out nicely. But Bader knows what we wanted and drove us into the dunes after visiting a badouin house. The view and sunset were just captivating!!! 🥺 he also made us kayak tea after sunset (tastes much like our milk tea in Hong Kong!) and we stayed on until dark. Bader seems to be very passionate about his job and would go the extra mile with his hospitality and recommendations (I even asked him where we can get good dates and coffee back in Muscat). In conclusion, i feel we were so lucky to have Bader as our guide, coz the whole experience didn’t feel like a commercial tour but more like a friend who welcomed his guests to his country, showing the best of Oman!! I’d recommend this tour to anyone!!Written December 7, 2022

I really enjoyed this day trip so much because Mohammed Al Hinai from AJ Tourism assisted me so well choosing the right tour for me despite he is currently outside the country. He was constantly available for me to reach online for any concerns etc.
He is very kind and funny and connected me to others. I would highly recommend them to anyone especially for tourists coming from Austria, Germany and Switzerland as their standards is above average. And you would enjoy the traditional food selection of chicken, beef and fish along with hummus and bread and unlimited water and other soft drinks and hit beverages which is included in the lunch
Expect a spectacular scenery and kind Omani people assisting you throughout.
Once again Thank you. Shukran and see you again Inshallah

Very beautiful hike, through mountains and wadi.
At the junction go where there are 2 choices of direction, turn right so you continue along the wadi and on the return you will be on the heights.
Very well marked route
