A great family day in Wadi Shab ! - What a great day ! It was exactly what we were hoping for : aventure and discovery in family! Given the fact we were with 3 Kids (12 / 10 and 6 years old). The site is stunning of course. We were led by a sportive and passionate guide, Hamood, who shared a lot of the culture and history of his country. The rythm was really good and adapted : no rush, true enjoyement and yet a very full day. Not only a guide, we really felt that Hamood took care of each of us.

Wadi Shab couple tour - Our first attempt to visit Wadi Shab on Sunday, April 14th was unfortunately unsuccessful due to heavy rains. However, the tour company kindly allowed us to reschedule for free, and we went again the following weekend - what an unforgettable experience! A few tips: be sure to purchase special water shoes for swimming and a waterproof case to take pictures and videos in and under the water. The views are breathtaking and something you'll remember for a lifetime. While water is provided, it's advisable to bring additional drinks as well. If you're not a strong swimmer, you can rent a life jacket for just 1 Omani Rial as there is a significant amount of swimming involved. The second time around was simply magical. If we return to Oman, a visit to Wadi Shab is an absolute must. Highly recommended for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike! The journey through the canyon, wading through water, and emerging into hidden pools was like stepping into another world. Don't miss this incredible natural wonder.

Fantastic experience but you need to be fit! - Fantastic trip but you need to be pretty fit as the walk there is over really rough terrain. We could not have done it without the help of our excellent guide! The pools were lovey and refreshing and the have worth the squeeze through the opening. I think the sinkhole was a waste of time - we would have preferred more time at the wadi I. The pools there staying cool!.

Wadi Shab and Bimmah Sinkhole - Excellent day tour with Abdurahman as our tour guide/driver. He made us feel very safe and secure all the time. Highly recommended tour since we were able to hike up and swim in the Wadi Shab and reached the caves. Also the beauty of the Bimmah Sinkhole is amazing. Great tour.

Worth the hype - I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Wadi Sheb tour and it exceeded my expectations. From start to finish, Mazin, our guide, went above and beyond to ensure our group had an unforgettable experience. He offered invaluable assistance along the way, making sure everyone felt comfortable and enjoyed the tour. The breathtaking landscapes of Wadi Sheb combined with the kindness of our guide created a perfect adventure.

Just do it!!! - We were not sure what to expect but it exceeded our expectations. Quite a long picturesque hike to the wadis, refreshing swim well needed after the hike. Quite scary going into the tunnel to the cave but a sense of accomplishment when we got in, it was also spectacular and worth it if you are not claustrophobic. Amazing experience and highly recommended if you have stamina. There is also the bonus of the short sink hole visit for a further dip. Our guide was helpful friendly and accommodating. Well worth the money highly recommended 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
