“Overall, it was a nice trip. Our guide, Muad, was very friendly and warm. Quad biking in Wahiba Sands was very fun. The walk to Wadi Bani Khalid was very scenic. The buffet lunch was delicious too. However, I’d like to suggest some improvements. When booking this package, I contacted the team to make sure there was enough time for all activities, while getting us back to Muscat in time. They said yes. However, they couldn’t deliver this. There wasn’t enough time to do dune-bashing after the quad biking. The trip should be planned with more structure to ensure there’s time for all activities stated in the package.”
