  • Beautiful Wadi Shab tour

    Anja R,,Feb 7, 2026

    Wadi Shab in itself is very beautiful, so the walking and swimming offers you amazing views. Besides that our guide Mahmood took really good care of us throughout the whole day. I was even more impressed when I saw him collect garbage from Wadi. He explained to me that he and his colleagues do this every day. That is admirable from them, but sad that they have to do this every day. Unfortunately there is quite a lot of trash around, here and there. I encourage everyone to take your garbage with you and do not leave it in the nature.

    Every aspect of this trip was excellent. From ease of booking to the pick up at my hotel & then the day itself - it was all slick, well organised & brilliant fun. Abdullah our guide was so polite, friendly & kind. He made a huge effort to ensure the tour went smoothly & safely. He had a great sense of humour too. I’m so grateful for his efforts, he really helped make this trip a truly unforgettable experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour, it was excellent value for money (the lunch was tasty too) & great fun.

    It’s a really good tour with an excellent guide. It’s worth booking the private option if you can. You go at your own pace. The hike is exhilarating and the swim is something else.

    Excellent tour with Muhannad. The tour is a longish 10 hour plus duration from Muscat. Highly recommended if you are physically fit and ok to hike thru uneven rocks. The highlight was swimming at wadi shab. Great coordination by the company, comfortable bus ÷ great lunch.

  • Funtastic experience and excellent tour guide

    The tour guide was very nice and he lead attendees properly and gently. He cared all attendees and kept entertaining people until the end even though we were tired. I usually don't join group tours. However I felt I would challenge again if tour guides are like him. He carefully talked with people to minimize the anticipation including me, The experience in Wadi Shab was fantastic and was much more than my expectation. Beautiful and exciting. I just though one to be improved below. Prenotification was just one day before and I purchased swimming shows, water shield bug already. I won't buy those if I knew those could be purchased or lent. I heard a Vietnamese lade didn't swim because she said there were too many people swimming. I guess a lot of Vietnamese can't swim and had no confidence to swim among those a lot of people. Actually the experience was much challenging that I thought. I could enjoy it but it might not be easy for people who don't swim so well. This is just my point of views because I believe she could claim it.

  • Comfortable, perfectly timed & impressive nature experience.

    This private tour with Gid Oman was just ideal for us. The entire process was perfectly coordinated. From punctual pickup to relaxed return, everything went smoothly and without time pressure. The journey was in a very comfortable, air-conditioned minibus, which is a big plus, especially in terms of distances and temperatures. Mohammed Aldighaishi is an extremely attentive, humorous and experienced guide who makes the tour pleasantly familiar. A special highlight was the very good, regional and family lunch, which gave us an authentic insight into Omani cuisine – fresh, loving and far from tourist restaurants. The tour to the waterfall in Wadi Shab was absolutely impressive: spectacular nature, exercise, cooling off in the water and enough time to enjoy. The mix of comfort, nature experience and perfect time management was outstanding. Conclusion: An all-round thoughtful, personal and high-quality tour – significantly more than we expected. Clear recommendation for Gid Oman and Mohammed Aldighaishi!

    Oman is an amazing country with beautiful nature, rich culture, and kind people. Wadi Shab is a natural wonder you absolutely have to visit (better go early to avoid the crowds). Abdullah is the best guide! Huge thanks to him for everything.

  • Best Guide Ever!

    Today we went to Wadi Shab with our guide Mohammed Aldighaishi, and let’s be honest — the views were amazing, but Mohammed stole the show. From the first minute, he had everyone laughing and feeling like part of the group. He’s the kind of guide who gives you facts, jokes, encouragement, and good vibes all at the same time. If there was an Olympic sport for guiding, Mohammed would take gold 🥇. He made sure everyone was safe, comfortable, and having fun — whether you were hiking like a pro or stopping every five minutes to catch your breath (no judgement 😅). The day was full of laughs, great energy, and unforgettable moments. Wadi Shab was absolutely stunning, but having Mohammed Aldighaishi as our guide made it even better. We will 100% rebook with the same company again — preferably with Mohammed, because now we know the standard. Highly recommended if you want an adventure, amazing views, and a guide who feels more like a comedian with a backpack 😄🌴

  • Amazing safe and fun experience as solo female UK tourist (26F)

    melodriver,,Dec 19, 2025

    British female tourist going solo. Had an amazing time today and Mohammed was an excellent guide. Met a lovely group of people from all over the world, everyone very calm and friendly. Saw some amazing views, hiked, swam, ate traditional Omani feast and had Omani coffee with rosewater in (very delicious). Felt very safe throughout. There’s swimming needed for some parts of Wadi Al Shab but life jackets are available for just 1 or 2 rial nearby. HIGHLY RECOMMEND LIFE JACKET: I’m an OK swimmer but in an indoor pool is very different from on slippery rocks outdoors! Thank you Mohammed for a great day :)
