5.00HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! We've just come back from this experience and can honestly say it was incredible and a real must-do. Our guide Yousuf really made this experience special for us as a family of 4 (two older children). He explained everything in detail and ensured we were looked after. He pointed out highlights along the way and areas where we need to watch out. Make sure to ask for Yousuf as your guide! Mike & Family from UK

5.00Wadi Shab is a breathtaking natural wonder that combines adventure with tranquility. The hike through the wadi is picturesque, leading to turquoise pools nestled between rugged cliffs. Swimming in the clear, cool water is a highlight, especially after the scenic trek. It’s an ideal spot for those seeking both physical activity and natural beauty. A memorable experience, though be prepared for a bit of a workout!

5.00in the beginning we thought it would be difficult to do this hike but it was completely the opposite. My favourite part was when we take the boat in the beginning honestly I highly recommend recommended to everybody.
Best tour ever

5.00It was my first time to do this kind of adventure and the guide was super patient and friendly. The hike wasn’t that challenging and I believe it’s possible for all levels. The water isn’t very cold and it’s super refreshing.
Challenging but rewarding.

5.00Wadi Shab was challenging but worthwhile. Our guide Ahmed kept a constant eye on me (75 years old) and gave me a sense of security. Without this “supervision”, swimming in the upper part of the Wadi would have been a somewhat risky adventure with constantly changing water depths in the rock. Even if the sinkhole drops slightly compared to the Wadi Shab overall a highly recommended tour. Many thanks to Ahmet!
Unforgettable tour
