This was an amazing trip and a great way to experience a small part of Oman. Marshal our tour leader was fantastic, always polite and professional, he was very happy to share the history and culture of Oman and to show points of interest which we might have otherwise missed. We covered a lot of ground in a week but saw wonderful and very varied scenery, enjoyed good food and had a lot of fun. The drivers we had were fantastic and I particularly enjoyed the drives in the desert and the mountains.

Wild camping was an experience but the mattress could have been more comfortable. Guide and drivers were absolutely fantastic at their job

Really enjoyed the tour, and would highly recommend it - a great overview of the key sights of this fascinating country, with a very personable, knowledgeable and professional guide. I had experiences like nothing before - seeing the turtle nesting, attending the goat auction - and learnt so much about the history and culture of the country and broader region. The sunset cruise in Muscat on the last day meant the tour ended on a high note. Great group and fabulous food, too!

This was a great trip, and I would recommend it. The hotels were all fine, the one night camping less so - very cold and the set-up was VERY basic (a kilometer away from a luxury resort!) - but the night sky in the desert was amazing. The trip notes are not totally accurate/informative though - there is a lot more travelling than they suggest and a lot of it is in 4-wheel drive vehicles over rough ground. If you don't like heights, beware! Be prepared for squat toilets in quite a lot of places :-/ All in all it was a good trip, well managed and very interesting.
