Highlights
  • Wadi Shab - When you book a full-day tour to Wadi Shab, you can expect an unforgettable experience. The journey from your hotel to the wadi takes approximately 2 hours, but it is worth every minute of the drive. As you travel through Omani villages, you will witness the stunning landscape of Oman and its rugged coastline.

Once you arrive at Wadi Shab, get ready for an adventure unlike any other. You will cross the wadi on a small fishing boat before embarking on your journey through the canyon. The views are breathtaking, and as you walk deeper into the wadi, prepare to be amazed by what lies ahead.

The highlight of your trip will undoubtedly be swimming in crystal-clear pools and diving through narrow keyholes that lead to magnificent caves with waterfalls inside them. This experience is not only visually stunning but also incredibly refreshing!

  • Bimmah Sinkhole - Hawiyyat Najm, known as Bimmah Sinkhole in English, is a water-filled depression, structurally a sinkhole, in the limestone of eastern Muscat Governorate, where it is possible to swim and refresh in clear water.

After exploring Wadi Shab thoroughly, it’s time for lunch at a local restaurant before moving onto another exciting location in Oman: Bimmah Sinkhole! Here, take some time out to swim in sparkling waters surrounded by dramatic mountains.

Additional Information

Wadi Shab is a breathtaking piece of nature. It is mainly a slender gorge, featuring pristine pools of water and awe-inspiring caves ready for exploration. The only way to access the wadi is by boat, further enhancing the thrill and anticipation of visiting this lovely site.

As you step in, you will instantly understand why it’s hailed as one of Oman’s most impressive wadis. You will find yourself enveloped by lofty cliffs on both sides, with cerulean waters coursing below you.

The crowning glory of Wadi Shab is the Keyhole, a petite aperture in the rocks that paves the way to an amazing cave housing its unique waterfall. To get to the Keyhole, you need to first swim across one of the transparent pools and then dive into the constricted passageway.

But if you’re not a fan of swimming, fear not! There are several moments for hiking and meandering all over Wadi Shab, ranging from traipsing through picturesque canyons to unveiling secluded brooks nestled in fertile foliage.

Best scenes with best tour guide - I had an incredible trip with an exceptional tour guide, Qamber Al Balushi. It was an amazing experience filled with fun moments spent with friends in the refreshing pools nestled beneath picturesque cave-covered hills. Qamber's companionship and invaluable assistance made the tour truly remarkable. Without a doubt, he is the best guide I have ever had.
