Wunderful desert safari
We joined the sunset desert safari at empty quarter desert mit Arabian travel service in Salalah during our holidays in Oman. The booking process two day before the safari was very easy and possible on short notice via whatsapp. and Ahmed Torky was very friendly. The jeep was very comfortable. The tuor started at 1:30 pm an we were back in our hotel at 9 pm. Our tour guide an driver Ahmed was very friendly und gave us a lot of interesting information. Fresh food an water were supplied and we joined a meal together with several drivers and other tourist after sunset in the dunes of the empty quater desert in a very lovely atmosphere. We saw farms in the desert, visited the Uber archeological site, an area with frankincense trees, black camels with camel milk tasting an reached the impressive huge dunes of the empty quater desert one hour before sunset. So we had enough time to climb the dunes an find a a lovely place to watch the sunset. We returned after the dinner directly to our hotel. It was a fantastic tour which exceeded our expectations. We would recommend Arabian travel service without restrictions and are happy having experienced this wunderful safari trip.

Desert and west and east cost of Salalah
We went on several trips with Arab Travel Agency, including the desert and both West and East Salalah, and we were extremely satisfied with every single one. The guides took us to the best spots and were more than happy to introduce us to their nature and culture. Also, Adam, our coordinator, was incredibly kind and flexible. Everything was tailor-made and private, without any mass tour groups. I hope the agency maintains this high standard; tourists will definitely keep coming back!

Great Tour, we would like to recommend it for anyone :)
One of the best tours we had in Salalah. Hamed, our driver was an excellent driver and he managed to take the vehicle to the top of the sand dunes very smoothly beating all the other drivers first. He drove the vehicle in a calm manner. Sunset was amazing and unforgettable moment. We took several very pleasant photos and videos of the sunset…
Wadi Dawkah Frankincense Park was a nice experience and did not realise the benefits of Frankincense until this tour…
Adam and Hamed from the Arabian Travel Service, Salalah, Oman were very pleasant, considerate and helpful.
We had a great time and we would like to recommend this tour to anyone…

Amazing Tour – Hamed Made It Perfect!
Our tour with Hamed was absolutely amazing! We saw so many interesting things and learned a lot — from visiting black camels to enjoying Arabic coffee and much more.
Hamed was extremely patient, very friendly, and never pushy. The experience in the desert was one of the most beautiful moments of my life.
We would do this tour again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to everyone — it was truly unforgettable!

Simply unforgettable
We had a great trip to the desert. After visiting the largest incense park Wadi Dawka, we continued to the black camel farm and then to visit the Wubar archaeological site. After that, the adventurous drive into the desert began. Our guide Mohamed was an excellent, experienced and safe driver and fully mastered his Landcruiser. He gave us an unforgettable, tingling and breathtaking ride over the dunes. Finally we were able to enjoy a fantastic sunset with a snack.
Driver Mohamed top, as well as organization and procedure. Thank you for this unforgettable experience!

Sunset desert Salalah
Today we had the chance to discover the desert and enjoy the sunset on a private excursion, accompanied by our Local Guide. It was a very pleasant day, marked by breathtaking landscapes that we were able to enjoy in peace, thanks to the low attendance at this off-season period. This place of wild and mystical beauty, where the dunes seem endless, offers a total immersion in nature.
The Arabian Travel Service has been very professional, with smooth and efficient communication. We highly recommend their services for an authentic and worry-free experience.
