Loved Wahiba Sands and the sunset - it was surreal

Excellent experience. We enjoyed our full day tour to Wadi Bani Khalid where we took a swim in the natural waters (crystal clear waters). But the best part of the day was sunset at Wahiba Sands. our tour guide Mr Ahmed took us to the best places for sunset view and made the experience unforgettable. My son saw the desert for the first time and his happiness made my day. this place is not at all crowded so you can have your serene moments of calm with nothing else but nature. Ahmed was an excellent tour guide throughout the Oman trip - very humble, punctual and professional as well as had full knowledge. Our overall experience for entire Oman vacation with Sunshine tours and MR Ahmed was wonderful.

It was a great desert experience.

My family and I booked a private tour. Fauzi, a tour guide and driver, was very friendly and had a good time talking to us and playing music on the way. They also took care of the toilet breaks, so I could enjoy the tour with peace of mind. Both the oasis and the desert were great, and I really enjoyed them because they told me the best spots and ways to spend time. On the way back, they gave me the opportunity to taste camel meat, which was a very valuable experience. I was also very good at driving and was relieved. I would love to see you again.

An unforgettable day in Oman

We had the absolute pleasure of spending a full day in Oman with Fauwzi, and it was truly one of the highlights of our entire trip. From the very beginning, Fauwzi impressed us with his outstanding preparation and deep knowledge of Omani culture, history, and traditions. Every place we visited came to life through his explanations, stories, and genuine passion for his country. What really makes Fauwzi special, however, is not only his professionalism but also his incredible kindness, availability, and sense of humor. He was always attentive to our needs, flexible with the schedule, and made sure that everyone felt comfortable and happy throughout the day. His warm personality and friendly attitude immediately put us at ease, turning what could have been just a tour into a truly personal and memorable experience. We never felt rushed, and he was always ready to answer any question with a smile. If you are looking for a guide in Oman who is knowledgeable, reliable, extremely kind, and genuinely enthusiastic about sharing the beauty of his country, do not hesitate for a second: Fauwzi is the perfect choice. Thank you, Fauwzi, for giving us such a wonderful day – we will remember it forever!

Special day touring the desert with an excellent guide

Incredible day with our outstanding guide Nasser exploring Wahiba Sands and Wadi Bani Khalid. Nasser was so friendly, helpful and a joy to spend the day with. Driving around the desert was incredibly fun, as was riding a camel, and seeing the sun set over the desert was truly special. Highly recommend!

This was a tour of a lifetime! Our guide Fauzi was phenomenal! He was very accommodating and took the time to provide us with numerous facts and take beautiful photos. We started the tour at 10am and were able to watch the sunset in the desert with our 1 year old and 3 year old. 100% recommend!
