Excellent 2-day tour

This was an outstanding 2-day tour from start to finish, from the smooth organisation and clear communication by Abhishek to the experience itself with our guide, Juma, who went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. Juma began the trip by stopping in his hometown and introducing us to Omani culture and hospitality. Every site we visited was incredible, but our highlights were swimming in Wadi Shab and enjoying the sunset in the desert. We’d highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience the best of Oman’s natural beauty and landscapes.

Perfect!

Top agency with excellent guides. Availability and professionalism are the strong points. Not only that: at the end of the tour we made a request in the evening of a holiday and they did their best to solve the problem also in a proactive way. We recommend it.

OMAN TOURS

If you're coming to Oman and you're looking for a good local tour operator then AFAQ is the one. Very professional organisation that provides individual packages. My wife and I travelled with our guide and driver Saif, who was absolutely excellent. He was always keen to assist us at all times and to provide us with a memorable experience.

Silence in the desert - misrepresentation

We stayed as part of a round trip through northern Oman also for one night at the desert camp "Wahiba Sands". The camp consists of several fixed tents and some simpler houses. We already had a better category, yet I would not speak of a luxurious tent. The camp itself is relatively large, which you noticed especially at dinner, as it was not easy to get a place and there were also many larger groups there. There's a simple buffet. But what particularly bothered us was the "evening program", which began with a troupe of bagpipers and continued with a belly dancer, among others, accompanied by piercing, gleaming, colored spotlights in disco style. We were looking forward to a relaxed, silent desert night with a fascinating starry sky and felt completely out of place. Luckily we only booked one night. So if you are looking for the silence of the desert, you should better visit another, smaller camp.

An intense two-day trip - Unmissable!

An intense two-day trip, filled with amazing landscapes, stunning nature, vivid colours and unforgettable moments. The turquoise wadis amongst steep mountains and rocks are a unique experience that will take your breath away. The sunset in the desert was made of pure gold and silence. Our guide Mohammed has been a special leader, host and driver, very kind and keen on sharing the treasures and hospitality of his land.

Amazing Oman

This was our first time in Oman a group of 7 family and friends from ages 16-78 years-old. All of us were amazed by the beauty of Oman and the friendliness of the Omanian people. The country is truly amazing and our guide Badar was the best. He is an excellent guide who is very experienced, he takes care of you, so you can relax ad enjoy your stay here. He is a very nice person, we highly recommend. We would come

Professional and Responsive Tour Company

Abhishek was very responsive and helpful in sorting out the itinerary for me at short notice. Salim, my guide and driver, was knowledgeable and an interesting person to spend two days with. He was also a very safe driver! The trip involved visiting Nizwa Fort and Souq, watching the sun set in the desert, and a swim in a wadi. Three very contrasting, wonderful experiences. I’m hoping to visit Oman again, and will definitely use Afaq Travel & Tourism again.
