Guided overnight desert camp from Muscat with Wadi Shab and Wadi Bani Khalid, plus Wahiba Sands dune sunset and great meals.
“Nonostante sia stato un itinerario serrato e un po’ faticoso, ne è valsa indubbiamente la pena. La notte nel deserto, vedere l’ultimo tramonto del 2025 e la prima alba del 2026 sulle dune del deserto non ha prezzo. Un po’ di scontento c’è stato nel gruppo per la sistemazione di Nizwa che non ha mantenuto le aspettative. Sì è trattato sicuramente di un inconveniente ma l’hotel era veramente di scarsissimo livello e privo di ogni servizio. La nostra guida Alì invece veramente top. Itinerario super consigliato.”
A guided day through Oman’s Jebel Akhdar, from Fanja market and falaj water channels to village walks, rose farms in March, and seasonal fruit.
“Wasn’t the first time to Jabal Al Akhdar, but in this tour was way much incredible and fun! Well explained about the places. Stunning mountains views. This tour overall was comfy, challenged and enjoyable💖 Special thanks to our tour guide Hamood!”

“Bellissima giornata a Muscate con Jaimini Charan. Ci ha guidati alla scoperta della città raccontandoci, in italiano, storie e aneddoti. Tour organizzato benissimo. Jaimini Charan ci ha aspettato alla discesa della nave dove ci ha accompagnano a fine tour. E’ anche un ottimo cantante. Ha contato in un ottimo italiano “quello che le donne non dicono” di Fiorella Mannoia. Consigliatissima”

“Un guide hors pair, sympathique et cultivé, Farsi. Tout au long de la journée, il nous a donné beaucoup d’informations, non seulement sur la visite mais aussi sur son pays et ses traditions. Nous avons passé en sa compagnie notre meilleure journée à Oman et cela restera notre plus beau souvenir de ce pays.”
