Dream Salalah of Desert Sunset tour

Fantastic Empty Quarter Desert Safari with Mohammed

Mohammed is an outstanding guide. We have taken many guided tours around the world, and he truly ranks among the best. What makes him exceptional is his balance — he shares interesting information without overwhelming you, gives you time to enjoy each place, and keeps a relaxed but well-paced schedule. With the wrong guide this tour could feel long and tiresome, but the entire 8 hours was very pleasant. The Empty Quarter desert safari was the highlight and one of our favorite experiences in Oman. The drive itself was fascinating as we traveled from the Dhofar mountains (not green during our visit in the dry season) toward the vast sands of the Rub’ al Khali, the largest sand desert in the world. Along the way we stopped at Wadi Dawkah, the UNESCO frankincense reserve, where he explained the history of frankincense and its importance in ancient trade. We also stopped to see the famous black desert camels, which made for great photos. Once we reached the dunes, his skill really showed. The dune bashing was exciting but always felt safe and controlled. Our two children (ages 6 and 8) especially loved sledding down the dunes, and he even provided the sled. Watching the sunset over the Empty Quarter from the top of a dune was absolutely breathtaking as the sand changed colors with the setting sun. Mohammed speaks excellent English and engages wonderfully with the whole family. If you’re visiting Salalah and considering a desert safari to the Empty Quarter, we would absolutely book with Mohammed again.

Sunset in the desert

Desert sunset, tour that deserves to be done. From Salalah visit to the park of incense trees, stop at the UNESCO site , but we did not enter . Finally, the tyres deflate and the journey over the dunes begins. To see the sunset well it is better to look for a high dune. I was very annoyed by the exaggerated display of off-road vehicles up and down the highest dunes to please tourists. A couple of cars got covered up in fact. Mohammed Ali was our fantastic guide. Cheerful and helpful, Arabic music and stories about Oman. And no car shows! Finally Bedouin dinner, we ate very well although I expected a "dining room" a little more characteristic.
