Wunderful desert safari
We joined the sunset desert safari at empty quarter desert mit Arabian travel service in Salalah during our holidays in Oman. The booking process two day before the safari was very easy and possible on short notice via whatsapp. and Ahmed Torky was very friendly. The jeep was very comfortable. The tuor started at 1:30 pm an we were back in our hotel at 9 pm. Our tour guide an driver Ahmed was very friendly und gave us a lot of interesting information. Fresh food an water were supplied and we joined a meal together with several drivers and other tourist after sunset in the dunes of the empty quater desert in a very lovely atmosphere. We saw farms in the desert, visited the Uber archeological site, an area with frankincense trees, black camels with camel milk tasting an reached the impressive huge dunes of the empty quater desert one hour before sunset. So we had enough time to climb the dunes an find a a lovely place to watch the sunset. We returned after the dinner directly to our hotel. It was a fantastic tour which exceeded our expectations. We would recommend Arabian travel service without restrictions and are happy having experienced this wunderful safari trip.

Desert and west and east cost of Salalah
We went on several trips with Arab Travel Agency, including the desert and both West and East Salalah, and we were extremely satisfied with every single one. The guides took us to the best spots and were more than happy to introduce us to their nature and culture. Also, Adam, our coordinator, was incredibly kind and flexible. Everything was tailor-made and private, without any mass tour groups. I hope the agency maintains this high standard; tourists will definitely keep coming back!

Great Tour, we would like to recommend it for anyone :)
One of the best tours we had in Salalah. Hamed, our driver was an excellent driver and he managed to take the vehicle to the top of the sand dunes very smoothly beating all the other drivers first. He drove the vehicle in a calm manner. Sunset was amazing and unforgettable moment. We took several very pleasant photos and videos of the sunset… Wadi Dawkah Frankincense Park was a nice experience and did not realise the benefits of Frankincense until this tour… Adam and Hamed from the Arabian Travel Service, Salalah, Oman were very pleasant, considerate and helpful. We had a great time and we would like to recommend this tour to anyone…

Amazing Tour – Hamed Made It Perfect!
Our tour with Hamed was absolutely amazing! We saw so many interesting things and learned a lot — from visiting black camels to enjoying Arabic coffee and much more. Hamed was extremely patient, very friendly, and never pushy. The experience in the desert was one of the most beautiful moments of my life. We would do this tour again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to everyone — it was truly unforgettable!

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
4WD Luxury Sunset Desert Safari - Empty Quarter: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Salalah.
How much does 4WD Luxury Sunset Desert Safari - Empty Quarter cost?
+
Prices start at $125 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Salalah usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 4WD Luxury Sunset Desert Safari - Empty Quarter take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Salalah is not rushed.
Is 4WD Luxury Sunset Desert Safari - Empty Quarter worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Salalah, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 4WD Luxury Sunset Desert Safari - Empty Quarter?
+
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 4WD Luxury Sunset Desert Safari - Empty Quarter suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 4WD Luxury Sunset Desert Safari - Empty Quarter?
+
Around 7 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 Salalah 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 Salalah and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 4WD Luxury Sunset Desert Safari - Empty Quarter 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 Salalah 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 Salalah?
+
On Outty we rank every Salalah experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include East Salalah Mountain Safari, Wadi Darbat, Beach, Camels, Dunes, Private Salalah Mountain Safari, West Salalah Tour - Caribbean of Orient - Fazayah Beach with City. 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 Salalah?
+
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 Salalah?
+
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.
