An unforgettable two days. private tour through Oman!
We explored Wahiba Sands Desert with an overnight stay, Wadi Bani Khalid, Wadi Shab, the Bimmah Sinkhole, and a traditional Bedouin house. We also enjoyed a stop at the coast with a stunning white sandy beach. Our guide, Waleed, was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, and his calm, careful driving made the journey comfortable and relaxing. He shared interesting insights about Oman and its culture and could answer all our questions. Everything felt relaxed, personal, and never rushed. We loved the stunning landscapes and cultural experiences. It was a wonderful way to discover the beauty of Oman a little bit. We highly recommend this tour and would happily travel with Waleed again! Thanks a lot.

Wonderful Day with Hamood!
Wonderful day spent with Hamood. We were picked up from the desert and spent the day at Wadi Shab under the safe and thoughtful guidance of Hamood. Organized end to end coordination and an amazing experience! Highly recommend organizing private adventure tours with this company!

All round good experience with Oman Landscape Tours
My friends and I enjoyed working with Oman Landscape Tours for our recent trip to Oman - they were adaptable, and helped us to arrange for day trips despite short notice. We also enjoyed our tour with our guide Khalid, who took us on a multi-day trip to Wahiba Sands, Wabi Shab, Nizwa, Bimmah Sinkhole and more. While we would’ve appreciated a bit more in-depth history/explanations of each site, we appreciated his flexibility, understanding of Omani culture, excellent command of English and professionalism. I would highly recommend the Oman Landscape Tour team for any visit to Oman.
Response from the operator: Hi dear, We extend our heartfelt gratitude to you for taking the time to share such wonderful feedback with us. We truly appreciate your kind words. Please rest assured that we are always here and ready to serve you whenever you need us. You are always welcome in Oman, and we would be honored to host you again.

Well-organized tour of Oman
We toured Oman with Amer and had a great experience. He is knowledgeable about the country, culture, and history, and explained things clearly without overdoing it. Amer was punctual, well organized, and flexible with the itinerary, adapting to our interests and pace. He took us to places beyond the usual tourist stops and made sure everything ran smoothly. Overall, a reliable guide if you’re looking for a well-planned and authentic tour in Oman.

Private Overnight at Wahiba Sand Desert and Wadi Shab Tours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Muscat.
How much does Private Overnight at Wahiba Sand Desert and Wadi Shab Tours cost?
+
Prices start at $599 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 Private Overnight at Wahiba Sand Desert and Wadi Shab Tours 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 Private Overnight at Wahiba Sand Desert and Wadi Shab Tours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 44 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 Private Overnight at Wahiba Sand Desert and Wadi Shab Tours?
+
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 Private Overnight at Wahiba Sand Desert and Wadi Shab Tours 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 Private Overnight at Wahiba Sand Desert and Wadi Shab Tours?
+
Around 15 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 Private Overnight at Wahiba Sand Desert and Wadi Shab Tours 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 Private Overnight at Wahiba Sand Desert and Wadi Shab Tours?
+
Included: Entry Fee for Wadi Shab Boat; Bottled Water during the tour; Omani Tour Guide English Speaking; Dinner; and Room: Standard Double Room for 2 PAX. Not included: Lunch; and Camel Ride (3 OMR/8 USD per person) Optional. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private Overnight at Wahiba Sand Desert and Wadi Shab Tours include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 263 listed pickup locations in and around Muscat. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Private Overnight at Wahiba Sand Desert and Wadi Shab Tours offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
