    Amazing country - amazing people

    I had a great time on the Wahiba Sands and Nizwa tour with Vacation Packages Oman. They are very attentive and provide good communication. The guide, Nasser, was friendly, organized, and knowedgable. I enjoyed his conversation as he introduced me ot his beautiful country.

    Excellent two-day tour of Oman

    This is an excellent full 2-day tour of many of the main sites in the northern half of Oman, including Nizwa, Wahiba, Wadi Bani Khalid, Sur, Wadi Shab, and the Sharqiya Sands (including an overnight stay in a beautiful eco-lodge). This included an excellent guide/driver, Suleiman, who was attentive, informative and engaging - his presence ensured that the trip ran smoothly. I highly recommend this tour.

    A lovely tour of some of the variety Oman has to offer

    My family (6 members, 4 young children) chose to visit Oman during the Eid Al-Fitr holiday. Vacation Packages Oman had a bit of difficulty securing a guide for us since it was a holiday and most people were home celebrating with family, but they succeeded in placing us with someone for two days during our trip, and we're happy they did. Our guide Rashid was fantastic. He was patient and understanding of our travel needs with the young children, and was always happy to chat about any aspect of Omani life and culture. We all traveled in one very capable Land Cruiser into the "Interior" of Oman to see the town of Nizwa with its old fortress and some of its date farms. Then we traveled down to the Wahiba sands. We had to cancel our plans to camp in the desert overnight due to a violent unexpected storm, but the storm did make for a drive that was quite an adventure in itself. The second day, we worked our way back toward Muscat, seeing some of the wadis (Wadi Bani Khalid, Wadi Tiwi, and Wadi Shab) as well as the Bammah Sinkhole on the way. The whole family really enjoyed our time on the tour, as well as our other non-guided days we spent in Oman. It is a lovely country, with stunning coastlines and friendly and generous people. Highly recommended!

    Amazing two days in Oman!

    My friend and I booked the 2 day tour of Nizwa, Wahiba Sands and Wadi Shab as part of our time in Oman. We had an unbelievable experience. Our guide met us at the hotel on time, was personable and willing to answer all of our questions. When we asked to stop to see an abandon village he said no problem at all. Our accommodations in Wahiba Sands far exceeded our expectations. We had our own private room that was a free standing room/bathroom with air conditioning - not attached to any other rooms. They had a communal sitting area with tea and snacks available. Our buffet dinner included live music. The sand dunes were beautiful. The hotel offered activities such as camel rides at an additional cost. We were able to get to Wadi Badi Khalid before any of the crowds and enjoy swimming in the Wadi by ourselves. We were able to hike through Wadi Shab and see the sink hole before making our way back to Muscat. We had a great experience and only wished we had more time to have added Jebel Shams to our tour! As a critique- we were not informed of where our hotel in Wahiba Sands was before departure. It would have been nice to know a head of time. Also the hike for Wadi Shab is more treacherous than advertised. I would make sure people are prepared with good walking shoes if they plan to participate.

    2 Days Desert Adventure Package: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Muscat.

    How much does 2 Days Desert Adventure Package cost?

    +

    Prices start at $780 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Muscat usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2 Days Desert Adventure Package take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Muscat is not rushed.

    Is 2 Days Desert Adventure Package worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Muscat, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Days Desert Adventure Package?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 2 Days Desert Adventure Package suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2 Days Desert Adventure Package?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Muscat can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Muscat and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2 Days Desert Adventure Package start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Muscat within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Muscat?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Muscat experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Wadi Shab and Bimmah Sinkhole Group Full Day Tour, Wadi Shab and Bimmah Sinkhole Full Day Tour, Daymaniat Islands Guided Snorkeling Adventure from Muscat. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Muscat?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Muscat?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 2 Days Desert Adventure Package?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Private tour; Professional guide; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: Gratuities; Lunch; and International transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 2 Days Desert Adventure Package include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 71 listed pickup locations in and around Muscat. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is 2 Days Desert Adventure Package offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 2 Days Desert Adventure Package?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is 2 Days Desert Adventure Package wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to 2 Days Desert Adventure Package if the weather is bad?

    +
