A definite must in Oman. Wadi Shab is beautiful and relaxing. Just be prepared to walk in the heat depending on what time of year you visit!

Challenging and fun hike. Great to take in all the sights and have some fun doing it! A must do in Oman. Jamal was brilliant and such a friendly guide, loved spending the day with him.

I have taken a lot of day tours in different location, and this is definitely one of the best! Our guide Mahmood is awesome! He is very engaging, kept the day fun, and going beyond what is expected! This could be a physically demanding journey in the heat, but every bit of it is well worth it. Swimming in the wadi is an unique experience. I would recommend everyone to rent a life jacket to save some energy as you would be swimming against the current. ( I survived without that but also regret not renting one, especially when I was inside the cave).

Lovely place with an easy and beautiful route to reach the lakes in the canyon with warm and crystal clear water. The heat makes it more tiring than it is, but it is worth it beautiful. The Muah guide was fantastic
