    • Explore!OperatorWritten August 2024

      on our 02 Feb 25 Mountains, Deserts and Coast of Oman trip we currently have 3 passengers booked. This date is a guaranteed departure and we would be able to operate it with a minimum of 4 passengers. We already have a male passenger booked to share - so you would have someone to share with.

    • L

      Lawrence

      TravelerWritten August 2024

      The tour was scheduled to use a minibus NOT a minivan. Is this still the mode of travel?

    • Explore!OperatorWritten August 2024

      The mode of transport for this trip would be a small coach (maximum number of passengers we would take is 16). If we ended up with a smaller number - say 4 or 6 passengers it is more like the mode of transport would be a Minibus. Whatever the group size - we will make sure passengers will be comfortable for the road journeys.
