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.”
