Full-day Private Guided Wadi Shab Tour in Oman
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Wadi Shab is a stunning natural wonder. It is essentially a narrow canyon with crystal-clear pools of water and incredible caves that are waiting to be explored. The wadi can only be accessed by boat, which adds to the adventure and excitement of visiting this beautiful location.
As you enter, you'll quickly realize why it's considered one of Oman's most spectacular wadis. You'll find yourself surrounded by towering cliffs on either side, with turquoise waters flowing beneath your feet.
The highlight of Wadi Shab is undoubtedly the Keyhole, a small opening in the rocks that leads to an incredible cave complete with its own waterfall. To reach the keyhole, you must first swim through one of the crystal-clear pools before diving into the narrow passage.
But don't worry if swimming isn't your thing! There are plenty of opportunities for hiking and exploring throughout Wadi Shab as well, from walking through scenic canyons to discovering hidden streams tucked away in lush vegetation.

What To Expect
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.

5.00Excellent visit of wadi Tiwi , with Sami . He is a guide from Tiwi , he knows the place perfectly!! Sami came to pick us up, with his personal car, under the bridge of Highway 17, it's the departure of the tour. Her private number is: +968 9067 1209. For the record, we had to pay the equivalent of 30 euros for two people. We highly recommend this experience!!
Thank you Hussain! You are simply the best….

5.00Hussain was absolutely the best guide we’ve Han in Oman! I can’t swim, let alone move an inch with a life jacket on! I do uncontrollable and unexplainable spins in the water. Hussain patiently pulled me to the cave! It was an amazing experience that I would have missed had it not been for Hussain. My kids had an epic day, he patiently answered all their questions - the highlight for them was the stop to get Oman bread and sweets on our way back to the hotel! Thank you Hussain!

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.
