                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[For UAE, consider a desert resort experience; Qasr Al Sarab is premium, but there are more affordable desert camps and hotels around Abu Dhabi and Dubai. In Oman, Muscat is a good base for the coast and city sights, Nizwa for forts and souqs, and Jabal Shams for mountain scenery. Many travellers stay in Nizwa and visit Jabal Shams as a day trip, but an overnight stay on the mountain offers cooler weather and views.]]></content:encoded>

While specific company names were not shared in this chat, the general advice is to choose established brands with good online reviews and clear insurance policies, or to hire a recommended private driver. Always check mileage limits, deposit terms, and any hidden fees before confirming your booking.]]></content:encoded>
