I recommend visitors can book both of western and eastern Salalah trips because we felt time was very proper for exploration one by one. Our tour guide gave us so much free time to explore by ourselves. To notice this trip without regular lunch time so we just picked light snacks, latte and cappuccino when passing some vendors.

Hamid and his team are consummate professionals. Not only that, they are a lot of fun to hang out with! Having them as guides means you can really experience the beauty of Oman, and in particular the off the beaten track areas. Flexible and empathetic, Hamid has the gift of recognising what his guests will enjoy. I couldn’t recommend Amazing Salalah more highly.
Hamid and his team at Amazing Salalah are the perfect conduit to west Salalah, where the landscape opens out into expansive sheer mountains carved by the winds racing off the Indian Ocean. Some of the view points he took us to were absolutely spectacular, culminating with a lovely Omani picnic on one of the most picturesque beaches I've ever been to. Knowledgeable, polite, on time, and so generous with his time, I couldn't recommend Hamid and Amazing Salalah enough.
My journey through Salalah gave me a deep appreciation for Oman’s southern beauty. I explored ancient sites like Sumhuram and Al Baleed, learning about the region’s frankincense history. The contrast between desert dunes and lush valleys amazed me. Wadi Darbat was breathtaking-green hills, waterfalls, and even camels grazing by the river. The people were incredibly kind, always offering smiles and stories. The local market was filled with the scent of frankincense and spices. I never imagined a place could combine culture, history, and natural beauty so effortlessly. Salalah deserves more attention from travelers.
Fabulous tour. What a wonderful start to my holiday. I was picked up promptly by the guide (Said) and we went straight to explore Wadi Darbat. I took a boat which was excellent. Great for those insta photos. It was busy but a wait time of a minute!!! So no complaining here!!! Then headed to grilled meat ( the smell was divine) at the summit. Next to Jabel Samhan and a breathtaking view....saw so many camels wandering from one side to the other ... The landscape around looked so much like Wales UK ...or maybe Scotland.... Stopped along the way for snacks and drinks! The drive was chilled, the scenery blew me away. I did so much. Oh and not forgetting caves, sinkholes, zero gravity and a castle. Do ask for Said as he was an awesome guide. You won't regret it
It was an a amazing trip to Salaha my family and I had a lot of fun a really great trip to Salaha and a beautiful country a really deserved 5 stars
Our very first trip not only in Dhofar region but Oman itself and what an amazing experience it was ! Our guide Hamid was awesome and knowledgeable of the region and the trip. He welcomed us warmly and understood our background and kept us engaged in conversation throughout the trip while answering all our questions. A truly photogenic bonanza! Truly recommended to explore the beauty of East salalah!

Salalah is very beautiful and this tour is the perfect way to experience Salalah in all its beauty. would recommend!
We went to amazing places ..so many beautiful views of nature of Oman . The tour guid was so helpful and knowledgeable.. we learned so many new stories about Oman alhamdulillah. Tq for the best Omani hospitality.
We enjoyed the tour which would highly recommend. Hamid was a perfect guide with experience, kindness and curiosity making the tour even more interesting. Al fazayah beach is beautiful and the landscape around so unique
Beautiful places and beaches, amazing viewpoints! Thanks to Hamid, our competent and friendly guide. We spent a full day walking on white sand beaches, spotting wandering camels (even on the route), observing incredible rock formations, bathing in the sunlight, breathing fresh sea air ... and a lot more!
We had a very pleasant experience touring the beautiful sights. Our guide Hamid made it very enjoyable with his awareness of history and the local traditions.
We really enjoyed the trip. Mainly because our our guide, Hamid. He was knowledgeable and hospitable. Also a good chat companion and told us a lot of interesting things. Note that best time to come here is September/beginning of October. Before that, there’s a rain season, after everything turns yellow so won’t be much greenery around. Trip was a total of 7 hours, so not too rough. I also personally suggest to start a bit later so that you get to Shaat by sunset time. We started at noon time and the timing was ideal. Also check the weather prior to booking, as the most could spoil things a bit for you :)
Hamed is exceptionally well-informed and has wonderful historical stories that will add to the beautiful scenery! He’s kind and has a beautiful sense of humour. The trip takes you to beautiful spots and is highly recommended.
Beautiful region, very diverse and interesting loved the vibe and people we met. Has been heartwarming and special. Will definitely visit again.
Beautiful views, the scenery was like a painting. Weather was pleasant. Our guide showed us the so many places along the way told us about the history.
Most exciting part of the tour especially with the kids. Enjoyed the beaches and the weather. The views were breathtaking and our guide Hamed was passionate and enthusiastic.
Eftelquot viewpoint, and getting drenched near the blowholes were the highlights of this trip! Salalah is a beautiful place. There are so many attractions to visit in your limited stay that you need an accomplished local guide. We worked out a comprehensive 3-day itinerary with Hamid, including West of Salalah, that had a mix of nature, trails, beaches, culture and food. The first thing you will notice about Hamid is his cheerful smile...the next thing you will realize immediately is that language and culture is not a barrier when interacting with Hamid. Our 5 year old formed an instant friendship with Hamid too! Hamid is extremely accommodating and absolutely fun to hang out with. We had great conversation and chit chat.... so much that the time spent in the car was as much fun as the time spent at the destination spots. Hamid gave us useful pointers prior to a destination, this way we were able to prepare ourselves and enjoy the destination as per our liking and preferences when we actually got there. Thanks to Hamid, we left Salalah with good memories, and a promise to return!
The tour guide was very professional, friendly, cooprative and highly knowledgeable with heritage and culture of Oman. We visited very beautiful places which is not covered in other tours. The entire tour was very comfortable and exciting.

A beautiful and almost deserted stretch of coast. Thanks to our guide Hamid we discovered incredible rock formations and a breathtaking ocean panorama. We spent unforgettable hours on a long stretch of light sand that plunges into a turquoise sea full of fish and turtles. Interesting excursion and absolutely not to be missed
Eine sehr empfehlenswerte Tour! Die Tour ging in den Westen Salalahs und vermittelte unvergessliche Eindrücke zu Land, Flora und Fauna. Unser Guide Hamed war sehr freundlich und fragte stets nach unseren Wünschen zum Tourverlauf. Das Tourenfahrzeug war komfortabel und bequem. Herzlichen Dank an Hamed für die tollen Eindrücke und Erlebnisse!
It was an unforgettable trip with Hamed. We made a lot of interesting stops and learned a lot about the nature and culture of Oman. Thank you so much Hamed for the wonderful experiences and fun with you at the Blowholes.
On the western tour with our guide Hamed we were able to collect beautiful impressions again. We could observe many flamingos in the lagoon. On the way to Maghsail Golden Beach we came across several herds of camels lingering in a lagoon. The Maghsail Golden Beach has us very excited with the white beach and the turquoise sea. The Blowholes don’t spray high fountains anymore in March, but we still had a lot of fun there together with Hamed. A successful conclusion of the tour we experienced at sunset at Al Haffa Beach where many locals also romped. Hamed told us again a lot of interesting things about the culture and nature of beautiful Oman. At this point, a special thanks to Hamed, who made for beautiful memories with this tour. Thank you very much Hamed
