1.Wahiba Desert and Wadi Bani Khalid Guided Group Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 820 reviews · 8 - 32 hours · from $130Our pick

4x4 dune bashing in Wahiba Sands, optional swimming at Wadi Bani Khalid, and lunch from Muscat with a small English guide group.

“Our trip to the Wahiba Desert was a very good and memorable experience. We were well accommodated throughout the tour, and everything was handled smoothly. The car was okay for the journey, though I do wish it had been a bit more spacious for added comfort. That said, the desert experience itself was amazing and truly unforgettable. The scenery and overall experience made the trip well worth it, and we’re glad we got to experience Wahiba Desert during our visit to Oman.”

From Muscat: Guided Overnight Desert Camp Tour

12.Guided Overnight Desert Camp Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 28 reviews · 2 - 3 days · from $589

From Muscat, hike Wadi Shab turquoise pools, then sleep in Wahiba Sands luxury tents and swim Wadi Bani Khalid next day.

“Nonostante sia stato un itinerario serrato e un po’ faticoso, ne è valsa indubbiamente la pena. La notte nel deserto, vedere l’ultimo tramonto del 2025 e la prima alba del 2026 sulle dune del deserto non ha prezzo. Un po’ di scontento c’è stato nel gruppo per la sistemazione di Nizwa che non ha mantenuto le aspettative. Sì è trattato sicuramente di un inconveniente ma l’hotel era veramente di scarsissimo livello e privo di ogni servizio. La nostra guida Alì invece veramente top. Itinerario super consigliato.”
