WE HAD AN AMAZING DAY BIRDING WITH PANORAMA TRAVEL

We had an amazing day birding with Badar from Panorama Travel. This was our first day in Salalah and what a brilliant one it was. Badar took us to multiple sites across the region, with varying habitats and the opportunity to add lots of new birds to our list. It was also a great way to understand the region, and Badar gave us tips for others sites to try later. His knowledge and expertise was exactly what we were hoping for. Highly recommended.
