- JHJacquelineOctober 25, 2019This tour is a good way to see Oman beyond Muscat. Lots of time in cars, but some of this, such as driving through the desert and the canyon are part of the experience - it isn't just let's drive from A to B. There was downtime/own exploring time... Show more
Trip date: October 2019 - AJoannaMay 17, 2019A brilliant trip which gave a good overview of Oman. There was a lot of driving but it enabled us to see a lot. The camping locations were amazing - yes, there were no facilities but we woke up on the beach, on the dunes and in the desert, so all well...

- ASusanMay 17, 2019No - lovely country, really nice group of fellow travellers and lovely leader. Would have liked more days!Trip date: March 2018Review collected by Explore!
- ARebeccaMay 17, 2019The trip was excellent and thoroughly enjoyable. The provision of free bottled water throughout the trip was great and saved us having to purchase along the way. Packed lunches for the camping weren’t great. Suggest having less, better quality food... Show moreTrip date: February 2018Review collected by Explore!
- APaulMay 17, 2019You might want to review the beach on the second night camping. It was a lovely beach but sadly it was absolutely covered in rubbish which was such a shame. There was even rubbish in the sea which really puts you off swimming.Trip date: December 2017Review collected by Explore!
- ACarolineMay 17, 2019Lunch boxes every day would have been better than the restaurants that weren't equipped to cope with us all. Slow service and OK food. Lunch boxes in some of the sights would have been much more enjoyableTrip date: December 2018Review collected by Explore!
- ABarbaraMay 17, 2019B'fast and dinners in the desert were excellent. In sharp contrast, the lunch boxes were not that great. Too much food altogether, too many carbs. More fruit would have been welcome.Trip date: March 2018Review collected by Explore!
- ADavidMay 17, 20191 or 2 members were a little surprised by the basic nature of the 3 nights camping but they clearly had not read the trip notes. For me it was a highlight of the trip.Trip date: March 2018Review collected by Explore!
- AWendyMay 17, 2019Great tour. I now know a lot more about Oman & really enjoyed visiting it. I will recommend the tourTrip date: February 2019Review collected by Explore!
