Wadi Shab guided tour - We organised a private guided tour of Wadi Shab and Bimmah Sinkhole. The Wadi visit was the highlight of our recent stay in Oman, it is stunning, our guide was Muhannad who was incredibly knowledgable, friendly and helpful, plus as a local resident he knew relatively unknown parts of the Wadi that we got to enjoy in solitude. Wadi Shab is a must see for anyone visiting Oman.

5 star experience - An absolute must-do in Oman, great quality experience with the Guide Abdullah! 5 star experience: everything on time, clean and comfortable vehicle, fresh and tasty lunch food in a clean air conditioned place. Abdullah is an attentive driver, calm and caring group leader. Will repeat!

Best tour in middle-east - I had an amazing experience on the guided tour of Wadi Shab and the Sinkhole in Muscat. Our guide, Abdul Rahman, was truly exceptional. From the very beginning, he was warm, friendly, and made sure everyone felt comfortable. The hike through Wadi Shab was stunning, and Abdul Rahman was not only knowledgeable about the area but also incredibly supportive. I sometimes get nervous with heights, but he was so patient and reassuring, even helping me in the tricky parts where I felt uneasy. Thanks to his encouragement, I was able to enjoy the adventure without worry. The visit to the Sinkhole was just as breathtaking, and Abdul Rahman shared interesting insights that made the experience even more memorable. His professionalism combined with his kindness really stood out. I highly recommend this tour, especially with Abdul Rahman as your guide, you’ll be in great hands for an unforgettable adventure! 🌟

Fantastic day with Muhannad - We booked the private tour and it was absolutely incredible. Our guide Muhannad was honestly fantastic and made the day so much fun for us! He really was so friendly, easy going and willing to accommodate all our needs (for example the pace of hike, swimming time, photos on request) and answered all the questions we had which made for a very engaging day. He was also mindful to suggest that we try to move ahead of the crowds to enjoy the Wadi and nature more which was a very nice touch and enhanced our experience. Couldn’t recommend the tour enough and in particular Muhannad (thank you!) We really enjoyed the car he drove us in for the day too!

Best day tour in Oman (and beyond)! - I have taken a lot of day tours in different location, and this is definitely one of the best! Our guide Mahmood is awesome! He is very engaging, kept the day fun, and going beyond what is expected! This could be a physically demanding journey in the heat, but every bit of it is well worth it. Swimming in the wadi is an unique experience. I would recommend everyone to rent a life jacket to save some energy as you would be swimming against the current. ( I survived without that but also regret not renting one, especially when I was inside the cave).

Wadi - If no physical condition to not walk long and swim long before reaching the last point

Fantastic place - Lovely place with an easy and beautiful route to reach the lakes in the canyon with warm and crystal clear water. The heat makes it more tiring than it is, but it is worth it beautiful. The Muah guide was fantastic
