5.00Our guide Fauzi was simply incredible. From the very beginning, she was professional, kind, and extremely knowledgeable. She guided us through Wadi Shab with great care, sharing insights about the nature of the place and Omani culture, while always making us feel safe and comfortable. She managed the timing perfectly, helped us during the more challenging parts, and made the whole experience fun, relaxed, and truly authentic. Thanks to her, we discovered beautiful spots we would have never found on our own. I highly recommend this tour and this guide to anyone visiting Oman. A truly unforgettable experience 🌴💦
Oman surprise!

5.00Amazing private tour experience with Fawzi, he made our experience totally enjoyable and his knowledge of Oman culture and history is exceptional. We would have no hesitation in recommending Fawzi as a private tour guide and we absolutely enjoyed this experience! Today we visited Nizwar Fort & Castle and the Green Mountain .

5.00Our experience with Yousof was genuinely pleasant and memorable. He’s a true guide in every sense: calm, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the trip. He took us to Bimmah Sinkhole and Wadi Shab, and the entire day felt smooth and well-planned. Yousof explained the history, guided us through the trails, and made sure we were comfortable at every step. If you're looking for someone who knows the places, understands the terrain, and treats you with respect and patience, Yousof is the one to go with. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Oman and wanting a reliable guide!

5.00Excellent full day tour. We visited beautiful places with Nasser our guide who really looked after us. My wife is coeliac and he made sure that we were well catered for in the restaurant stop off. Wadi Shab is amazing but beach shoes are highly recommended as it can get slippy. We learned so much about Oman during the day through our chats in the car. Would 100% recommend this experience.
Best Day in Oman! Amazing Adventure with Mr. Amer

5.00What an unforgettable day! Our trip with Oman Sharing Tours to Wadi Shab, Wadi Tiwi, Bimmah Sinkhole, and White Sand Beach was honestly the highlight of our whole Oman visit. Every place looked straight out of a dream — turquoise water, stunning cliffs, and peaceful beaches. But what made the day truly special was our guide, Mr. Amer. He was with us through everything — hiking, swimming, and even exploring the blue water cave inside Wadi Shab! He kept checking on everyone, making sure we were safe, smiling, and enjoying ourselves. It never felt like a guided tour — more like spending a fun day out with a friend who really cared. Thank you so much, Mr. Amer, for your energy and kindness. You turned a beautiful place into an amazing memory! 🌊
Magical Day at Wadi Shab – Thanks to the Most Caring Guide, Mr. Amer!

5.00Our day trip with Oman Sharing Tours to Wadi Shab, Wadi Tiwi, Bimmah Sinkhole, and White Sand Beach was absolutely magical. The views were breathtaking — turquoise water, caves glowing with sunlight, and quiet stretches of white sand that felt untouched. What made the experience truly special was our guide, Mr. Amer. I’m not a swimmer, so I was honestly nervous about visiting Wadi Shab. But he made sure I felt safe every step of the way. He patiently helped me through the trek, showed me where to step in the water, and even guided me with a float so I could reach the beautiful blue lagoon cave that I thought I’d have to skip. Because of him, I didn’t just see Wadi Shab — I actually experienced it. He never rushed anyone, always kept a friendly smile, and made sure the whole group felt looked after. It turned out to be the most memorable day of my entire Oman trip. Huge thanks to Oman Sharing Tours and especially to Mr. Amer for his kindness, patience, and care. Highly recommended for anyone — even if you’re not a confident swimmer — you’ll be in the best hands!

5.00We had a fantastic experience exploring Wadi Shab, Wadi Tiwi, Bimmah Sinkhole, and White Sand Beach with Oman Sharing Tours. The entire trip was well-organized — comfortable drive, perfect timing, and enough breaks to truly enjoy each place. Our guide, Mr. Amer, stood out for his professionalism and warm personality. He stayed with the group from start to finish, leading us through the Wadi trek and even swimming alongside us inside the cave — something you don’t often see guides do. His knowledge of the region, combined with his friendly and patient manner, made the whole adventure easy and enjoyable. Big thanks to Oman Sharing Tours and to Mr. Amer for a day that blended adventure, nature, and great company. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience Oman’s true beauty!

5.00This was an incredible and unforgettable experience with the most knowledgeable and experienced guide Fausi. We are a family of six with 4 children (9-17) and Fausi was the perfect person to have had guiding us on this magical adventure. He is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, patient and passionate about his country and its beauty. He explained the stories surrounding the creation of the Sinkhole, as we travelled through various towns he explained their history and what their known for. The Wadi shab was absolutely stunning and a must see! The caves and the journey through them was breathtaking, the children loved im seeing such natural wonders. Fausi made the experience special, taking care of us and the children his personal touch was what made the trip such an unforgettable memory. All in all i would highly recommend this excursion when in Muscat and especially with Fausi.
Wadi Shab, Fins Beach & Bimmah Sinkhole

5.00We really enjoyed our hike at Wadi Shab. Although it was hot, our tour guide was attentive to have packed cold drinks and water for us. Khalid AlRaqadi guided us safely on the hike and stopped off when we needed water or catch our breathe. Reaching our destination Wadi Shab was worth it. We were able to swim in the clear waters and for the more adventurous was the deeper Turquoise waters. Khalid too my husband safely into deeper waters while my daughters and I enjoyed and swam in the shallow parts, keeping cool in the warm water was breathtaking beautiful experience. Khalid packed melons and pineapple and shared his food with us. A lovely gesture. The hike down was easy and the boat ride back was also relaxing. Khalid was attentive when we wanted to pray and took pictures at all locations including white fins beach and shared with us. Again breathtaking views into the sea of Oman before moving to the sinkhole. This experience will be forever memorable due to having such an excellent tour guide. Request Khalid. He will take care of you without hesitation. Ruksana- Frasers Suites Hotel
