An excellent worthwhile trip to explore the countryside outside of Dubai. There were some spectacular views, and the tour guide was very knowledgeable.

A great full day, guide was good, transport great, sights and tour excellent. Friday markets were fun. Oman and the Gulf were great. The trip through the mountains was eye-opening. Lunch at the hotel was excellent, as it was Christmas Day. Water in the Gulf could have been warmer, but we did swim.

Excellent trip and 5 minute tour of Oman was a nice plus.

Tour covered a variety of scenery. Lunch at beach hotel was fine, but staff could have been advised of our arrival, so service could have been quicker during the stopover. Really appreciated hotel pickup and drop off. It was good value for money by comparison.

Very interesting tour despite the 42 degrees of heat, gained more information about UAE. We didn't travel/visit according to the description but saw most of the places listed. Suggest tour operators should give more details about lunch set up - it was either a big hotel or small cafe. As there was only 4 four us, it was easy to decide. Could be difficult and time wasting if there was a large group. It was very hot at the beach but definitely worth a paddle.

Worth it if just to see another side of United Arab Emirates.

This is worthwhile in its giving you the chance to explore the contrasting countryside outside outside Dubai. Value was added through a very knowledgeable guide.

This was a very interesting trip just to see what's the around the area instead of only Dubai. The mountains are huge and not too bad for a 10-minute ride through Oman. All in, a nice drive outside of the city for the day.

To get out of the city and see the desert, the mountains, different Emirates and rain was good. Tour leader was informative, friendly and very interesting. English was excellent.

Firstly I didn't like that we were only given one choice of restaurant for lunch, which was overpriced for the average quality food. Secondly there wasn't much to see or do. Also I was given the impression we could go into the fort only to find out when we got there it was closed. It also felt a bit rushed. I found tours taken in Oman were much more enjoyable.

It was a long drive through the desert. The views were spectacular once we reached the East Coast.
