Wadi Bani Khaled & Desert Safari - Muscat, Oman

its a long but great day. they really worked with us to customize our itinerary to what we wanted. Ahmed picked us up at 9:30am and we were off on a 2.5hr drive our to wani badi khalid through the mountains. wani badi is worth seeing, but it is pretty crowded and to really enjoy youd have to spend some time hiking up to less crowded areas. still the water water warm and clear. we headed over to bidiyah to have some lunch which was also great (camel curry, grilled chicken, fresh salad, etc). then we headed out to the desert, stopped briefly to let some air out of the tires. we didnt want to ride a camel but did want to try sandboarding so we stopped on the way to the desert to pick up some boards. we sucked at it lol.. not sure if we were doing it wrong or the boards were too small or what but it was fun to try i guess. Ahmed then drove us around to find a perfect spot for a view of the sunset and took some pictures for us before heading back on the drive back to muscat.

The ride was great and the best part was to see the nomads! very informative and a great time all the way. Tour guide was great as well!

Thank you so much for your great service and an unforgettable time in Oman! We are from india and we did 7N8D tour to oman from 20.2.23 to 27.2.23 with aryaf jibreen travels Superb and professional tour operator Our guide cum driver was Mr Eng monther AL Jabri ever smiling, very caring , friendly and courteous. personable, so willing to please, so prompt, so helpful, so fun. Our experience in Muscat and surrounding areas was made much more enjoyable with his knowledge and his company. If your travels take you to Oman, let Mr Eng monther AL Jabri (Mob +96872001717)take you. if we could give more than five stars we would gladly do so because we were more than satisfied with his services.

My boyfriend and I embarked on a two day tour, we were entrusted with Said as a guide, a young guide who immediately put us at ease, was very professional and took care of us throughout the time spent together, he was very patient with us and gave us all the time we needed to finish the visits, meals and photos 😂. We filled him with questions about Oman and its culture and he always answered us kindly and helped us understand its traditions. Needless to say, he has satisfied us on everything and is also a great photographer! It was a beautiful tour that I highly recommend to those visiting this beautiful country

I had most remarkable trip with our guide Khalid, Not only everything was perfect, but we felt, in every instance, that our guide Khalid truly cared about us. I liked the hike, nature, fish spa, and the food was perfect. Most importantly Khalid is a good in desert drifting 😁. The greatest value compared with the price. Thanks a lot.

We signed up for a private day trip to Bimmah sinkhole, Wadi Bani Khalid and Wahiba Sands with Aryaf Jibreen tourism after reading tons of packages and reviews from different companies online. We liked the recommendations and flexibility and the relatively reasonable pricing, so we decided to go with them in the end. We had Bader as our guide for the day and I couldn’t be happier with our experience! Not only had he demonstrated the best version of Omani hospitality, he’s also got great sense of humour and our whole trip had been filled with laughter and giggles (and also food & drinks 😂) We were welcomed by Bader at the hotel lobby and he took us with his land cruiser. Before we set off, he explained the time needed to travel between places and was a good timekeeper throughout the journey. He’s got a fridge ready in the vehicle where he prepared water and some juice to quench our thirst, and also some dates, tahina dips, karak tea and Omani coffee (my favourite) to make sure we don’t starve during the day. Lunch was included in this tour and we were taken to a Omani/ Yemeni restaurant for some really yummy camel meat and lamb shuwa (eating on the floor like a local!) My favourite part of the tour was definitely the Wahiba sands…!!! at first I was worried and skeptical coz I read on the internet before that some other tour companies would only stop at rundown spots and the photos taken would not turn out nicely. But Bader knows what we wanted and drove us into the dunes after visiting a badouin house. The view and sunset were just captivating!!! 🥺 he also made us kayak tea after sunset (tastes much like our milk tea in Hong Kong!) and we stayed on until dark. Bader seems to be very passionate about his job and would go the extra mile with his hospitality and recommendations (I even asked him where we can get good dates and coffee back in Muscat). In conclusion, i feel we were so lucky to have Bader as our guide, coz the whole experience didn’t feel like a commercial tour but more like a friend who welcomed his guests to his country, showing the best of Oman!! I’d recommend this tour to anyone!!
