Questa escursione è stata la scelta migliore che potessimo fare. Le attività proposte non hanno nulla a che vedere con quelle degli hotel, organizzati in gruppi da 4 su jeep di lusso, le guide di garantiscono ogni comfort (acqua in ogni momento, frutta fresca del posto e tutto quello che è richiesto dai clienti). La parte più bella è sicuramente la possibilità di fermarsi quando e dove si preferisce, con la possibilità di incontrare cammelli, mucche, caprette e asinelli in totale libertà. Se si è fortunati la guida vi accompagnerà in posti nascosti per vedere delfini, tartarughe marine e molto altro. Ringraziamo ancora la nostra guida Ahmed Abo Salim per questa esperienza INDIMENTICABILE.I had an absolutely fantastic time on the Beautiful Salalah tour.

Highlight of the tour was our guide Mohamed, the nicest person and very knowledgeable. We could not hope for anyone better than him!
