Wadi Dawkha, Frankincense Valley, black camels, and the Rub' al Khali desert with Mohammed. Dreamlike!
We had a wonderful day with Mohammed!
We first visited Wadi Dawkha and looked at the Frankincense Valley (UNESCO World Heritage Site). Very impressive!
After that, we went to Thumrait for tea and dates, then continued on to the black camels.
Afterwards, we visited the city of Wubar, an archaeological site/Frankincense Trail, and toured the grounds.
The tour concluded with the Empty Quarter, the Rub' al Khali desert, for the tour over the sand dunes and the sunset. Dreamlike.
Mohammed told us many interesting things about the history and culture at each of the locations. Very impressive and interesting.
Thank you, Mohammed, for this wonderful day. We are very glad that we took the tour!

Unforgettable experience
Absolutely magnificent experience, we were taken to the Frankincense trail, the lost city and the sunset tour at the empty valley dessert, this was a memorable experience and our tour guy Muhammed made the experience even more special with his warm personality and hospitality, i would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to have a taste of the grand empty quarters to see the sunset on the desert.

An unforgettable experience
Excellent experience. We took the tour in summer, which is low season due to high temperatures. This made the places really special, feeling isolated in a wild environment. Without an experienced guide like Salim, this would not have been possible. Fully recommended for professionalism, passion and deep explanation of all that we saw and we asked about.
We had an absolutely fantastic experience on the Sunset Desert Safari with Mohammed! From the moment he picked us up, he was incredibly warm, friendly and knowledgeable, sharing so much about Omani culture, local traditions, frankincense, the Empty Quarter and everything we saw along the way, which made the tour so much more meaningful. He was also exceptionally kind and accommodating with my mum's leg issues, making sure she was comfortable throughout the day without ever making us feel rushed. He went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible and took the most incredible photos for us, capturing memories we'll always treasure. The scenery was breathtaking, the entire day was perfectly paced, and Mohammed's enthusiasm, professionalism and genuine care made it one of the highlights of our trip to Salalah. We couldn't recommend him more highly! ☺️

Sunset in the desert from Salalah
Serious agency. Mohammed arrived right on time; we had communicated via WhatsApp in English, and upon his arrival, we discovered that he spoke excellent Italian. The tour organized by his agency (Ciao Salalah Tours) was the most comprehensive we found: Wadi Dawkah to see the frankincense trees (UNESCO heritage), tea in Thumrait, a stop at Ubar (UNESCO heritage), a visit to a camel farm (including black camels), and finally, sunset in the magnificent Rub' al Khali desert. What can I say... just thank you for the beautiful experience.

Best day trip🐪🤩🏜️
Mohammed totally adapted the trip to my wishes! During the trip he explained a lot about the surroundings. Particular highlight were the black camel babies, which you could also pet. The Rub Al Khali Desert with its impressive dunes was beautiful. Would definitely come back!

From Salalah to the desert at sunset
It was the perfect tour. Very friendly guide, very good car and the sunset was something very special. Thanks to Salim, everything worked fine. Also, it was reassuring to know that he did additional training as a rescue leader
