Summary:
Excellent experience with Tahar, who explained over the whole trip culture of dessert ! Tahar speaks perfectly French, which is really unexpected for us !

Summary:
It is one of its kind compared to other desert attractions in the Middle East. The photographic landscapes in Wahiba Desert are noticeably larger than others, and you'll get to experience coffee and dates with the Bedouin tribe.
On another note, Wadi Bani Khalid feels like a totally refreshing oasis—yup, it's real, not a fata morgana (if you know what I mean...).
My only disappointment would be how fast the free time goes at Wadi Bani Khalid—only 45-60 minutes. A little unjust compared to the 2-hour drive each way (from and to Muscat).
That said, my family and I are super satisfied with the experience. And two thumbs up for our guide, Yaqoob! Definitely coming back for more adventures in Muscat soon.

Summary:
Today was really special. Our legendary guide Sameer drove us to the desert where we were welcomed by a charming Bedouin family. They furnished us with coffee and dates, followed by a short camel trek, and my wife indulged in some traditional henna which turned out brilliantly.
After the desert we went to our second Wadi, which we both loved and which included pools deep inside a cave.
Again a spectacular day with great memories made, and our trusty guide never failing to capture them through his excellent photography skills.
