Oman a Journey

Having decided to go to Oman ,making contact and having a face to face ( zoom) meeting almost immediately with someone that has in depth and up to date knowledge together with being a total expert in their field is a total joy .After our exchanges of ideas this led to Marina suggesting and setting out a most amazing 3 week journey through the upper part of Oman. Not only was the variety spot on but the pace worked so well.For me ,it is always all about the journey and the experiences that you have on the way . The clever use of technology allowed Marina to point us in the right direction each day and for us to pick and choose which of the various highlighted sights we wanted to take in . From our first point of contact to departure with vehicle and accommodation booked we were off in 8 days. I can’t sing praises loud enough .

Thank you so much for your kind words - it was an absolute joy to help you plan your journey through Oman.

Designing your three-week self-drive itinerary through northern Oman was a real pleasure. The timeline was certainly tight, but I was more than happy to work late to make sure your accommodation, vehicle hire, and personalised Oman travel e-guide and routemap were all ready in time for your departure.

For me, travel is always about the journey and the experiences along the way, so it was wonderful to create a route that allowed you to explore Oman at your own pace while discovering some of the country’s most remarkable landscapes and places.

I also thoroughly enjoyed following your adventures across Oman as your trip unfolded.

Thank you again for trusting me with your Oman travel planning - it was truly a pleasure to help you experience this very special country.

Warmest wishes,

An incredible experience.

We have had an incredible experience because of the trip Marina arranged. It was everything we could have asked of and more.

We had little time to arrange our trip but after one call with her, she put together the perfect itinerary and suggestions. It was booked and organised in less than 24 hours. She was lovely, and we felt we could really trust her.

Everything went as planned and Marina was available as needed if it we wanted to tweak it or do something different. She gave us a brilliant google maps and was also available on WhatsApp.

We cannot fault the experience and would highly recommend using this company. We can’t wait to book our next one with her.

Lucy, thank you so much for your kind words; it was an absolute pleasure putting this trip together for you.

I love how quickly we moved from that first call to a fully formed adventure! When clients trust me with limited time, it’s such a joy to craft something that truly fits. I’m so pleased you enjoyed the places, the route, and having the Google Maps and WhatsApp support to lean on along the way.

Knowing everything ran smoothly, with space to tweak and explore, is exactly what I aim for.

I’m already looking forward to designing your next adventure.

Follow The Desert Diva

I followed The Desert Diva across Saudi Arabia, through the Empty Quarter (we found the lakes and found our way blocked and then met wonderful people to help find our way out), through the Fire (a good thing, Al Hariq is beautiful), and through thousands of kilometers of the picturesque north-west too!

She consistently finds interesting people and places, and runs a safe convoy in some of the most remote places on earth.

AMD, what adventures we’ve shared!

From unexpected detours in the Empty Quarter when tracks were blocked, to discovering welcoming locals in the most remote corners - that’s exactly why I love what I do. Plan A is wonderful… but knowing how to navigate Plan B safely is what really matters in the desert.

Thank you for highlighting convoy safety; that is always my top priority, especially in remote terrain. Exploring thousands of kilometres together across Oman, UAE and Saudi Arabia has been a real privilege.

Here’s to many more kilometres, more discoveries, and more stories around the campfire.

The best "turn-key trip" ever

I am the leader of an offroad group and wanted to organize a four days overland trip in Oman, but I had no time to plan it and not much knowledge of Oman. I asked Marina (aka the Desert Diva) if she could build a road-book for me with route, camp site, point of interest, etc.
She made some proposal, we tweaked the route based on the requirement of my group, and in the end I’ve received a perfect road-book with all the required information (including public toilets 😊 ). The timings were perfect with a right balance of driving, sightseeing, resting. The trip was a huge success and all the members enjoyed it a lot.
I strongly recommend Marina’s services. Her massive knowledge of the region (UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia) is IMPRESSIVE (quite normal after more than 20 years wandering around). Her listening and understanding of the requirements is outstanding, enabling her to build perfect experiences.

Olivier, thank you - especially coming from an experienced off-road leader, that means a lot.

Designing overland routes is one of my favourite things to do. It’s about more than tracks and waypoints; it’s rhythm, scenery, sensible timings, hidden gems, and yes… strategically located facilities! 😊

So much reconnaissance, wandering, and note-taking goes into those road-books long before they ever reach a client. Hearing that your group felt the balance was just right makes every dusty kilometre worthwhile.

I’d be delighted to help you carve out the next Oman chapter when you’re ready.

Top Customer Service

We recently worked with Marina to arrange our business trip, and she was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. She not only booked everything efficiently, but also made sure to check in with us and remained available throughout the entire trip in case anything came up.

Her attention to detail and proactive support gave us complete peace of mind — and in the end, everything went perfectly. Marina made the whole process seamless, and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough!
