A recommended experience

I really enjoyed this trip to the Empty Quarter with Arabian Travel Servic. It is always impressive to be in the desert. The guide, Abdulaziz, was very friendly and provided extensive information. The contact prior to the trip via WhatsApp also went smoothly.

What would I have missed!

It was a wonderful experience! Before that I had very smooth, friendly contact with Adam. Ahmed gave me great tips when picking up and was incredibly likeable. I was in a jeep with two other female tourists and was accompanied through the two days by Said, who was full of energy, warmth and openness. We had a lot of fun and good conversations and I felt very well perceived, welcomed and well accompanied even as a solo traveler. The stars and the atmosphere in the desert you never forget, also the camel farm and the babies cuddling there and testing milk was great. I had my own tent, which was much bigger and more comfortable than I expected and I loved how the experience was rounded off (authentic-looking food, seat cushions, fire and hookah, speeding through the dunes, the incense trees and the forgotten city). I am very happy to have decided on this tour and thank you with all my heart!

Overnight Safari in Salalah - The Adventure of a Lifetime

A mother–daughter memory we will carry in our hearts forever. Our overnight desert safari in Salalah was far more than just a tour – it was a deeply emotional experience that we will never forget. We felt an incredible sense of peace, closeness, and wonder from the very first moment. Hamed was not just a guide; he was the soul of this journey. He took us to a place where the dunes seemed endless and time stood still. We watched the sun slowly disappear behind the golden sand, surrounded by the pure silence of the desert. It was a moment that touched us deeply. Later, we sat together by the fire, wrapped in warmth and starlight, listening to Hamed’s beautiful stories about Oman, its people, and its traditions. Under this endless sky, everything felt calm, meaningful, and almost magical. And the photos – Hamed captured us in a way that felt so real, so natural, so full of emotion. These pictures are not just images; they are treasures that will always remind us of this special time together. The night in the desert was peaceful, safe, and unforgettable. If you travel to Salalah, this experience is a gift you should give yourself. Five shining stars

Desert Adventure with Overnight - Safari from Salalah

Dear team, We had the great pleasure of taking part in a desert excursion (from Salalah) organized by you – and it was an experience we will never forget. From the first contact to the return everything was perfectly organized and designed with great attention to detail. The journey to the camels, the drive through the sand dunes, the sandboarding as well as the campfire with the starry sky and dancing around the campfire was breathtaking. The food was delicious. Our guide was not only extremely competent and friendly, but also knew how to tell exciting stories about the region. We were particularly impressed by the professionalism and at the same time the warmth of the entire team. A very special highlight was the surprise for my birthday: a lovingly prepared gift, flowers and a candlelit cake in the middle of the desert – this was not only unexpected, but also incredibly touching. This personal gesture made the day very special for me. We can highly recommend you. If you are not only looking for a tour, but a real experience, this is the place for you. Thank you for these wonderful memories! Best regards Janine, Daniela and Thomas

Excellent organised tour, Mahad was an excellent tour guide.

We were really looking forward to this experience and it mostly lived up to expectation. Mahad was friendly, warm and hospitable - couldn't have looked after us any better. He was very detailed in explaining things to us and patient with any questions. It also meant we could see quite a few important sights in a short time period - Wadi Dawkah, Ubar from the outside and obviously the Lost Quarter. We also felt we got some special insight that we wouldn't had he not been there. The only reason we haven't given 5 stars is we were looking forward to having shisha under the stars near the campfire, this is also something we requested specifically in our booking - unfortunately the campsite had ran out of molasses so we could not have this and we were quite disappointed as it would have made the experience perfect. I think in future maybe keeping some molasses in the car with all the other supplies might be wise especially if it has been requested in the booking. I thought long and hard about mentioning this as everything else was perfect, but both of us couldn't help be very disappointed by not having this experience we were specifically looking forward to. Ending on a more positive note we particularly enjoyed the fresh camel milk Mahad got for us from the camel farm he took us to so we could meet some camels which was unexpected but fun! The camp was also very comfortable and we slept extremely well in the traditional tents and waking up for the beautiful desert sunset was magical.

Perfect tour and experience!

Hello We were on the road in April with our great tour guide named Mahad. Mahad introduced us to the local customs and gave us deep insights into his culture. We were allowed to try local specialties, although it wasn't specified, and he was always concerned about our well-being. It wasn't a run-of-the-mill tour, but very individual and always careful to offer us the best possible tour. It was a dream tour and can only be recommended over the offers from other tour operators. Thank you Mahad for the great experience and also thanks to Arabian Travel Service :)
