Great trip for solo travellers

5.00Everything was fine - plenty of water on the bus to make sure everyone stayed hydrated. The hiking speed was fully aligned to accommodate slow walkers. The challenge is the heat, not the terrain. I wouldn't recommend the trip for people who can't swim - the cave does require some swimming. Great option for solo travellers who don't drive.
Gorgeous scenery, great adventure, good workout

4.00I had an absolutely great day, thanks to good communication and sufficient information given prior to the trip. Everything was so well organised, and I was able to full enjoy the natural pools of Wadi Shab. We were only able to have packaged snacks before visiting the sinkhole because restaurants weren't open in the day due to Ramadan, otherwise, I'd say it's pretty much a perfect day. Mohammed was the perfect guide for this trip as he guided us through multiple pools to reach the cave, where we secured some great videos diving from the rock. He knows the place inside out so can make the experience extra adventurous. It's a good workout as well with the scenic hike and swimming.
Not to be missed!

5.00To do! I recommend Mohamed.
This is truly a must-see if you're in the world, and when you have an excellent guide like Rachid, it's absolutely fantastic!

5.00This is truly a must-see if you're in the world, and when you have an excellent guide like Rachid, it's absolutely fantastic! Be sure to be in excellent physical condition and wear water shoes with a good grip, as the rocks can be very slippery, but the scenery and swimming in this Whadi make it well worth it. Even though it was Ramadan, we still got a delicious hot lunch to eat in the van. Our group was 10, which was ideal. Thanks again to Rachid for guiding us safely through everything. The stop at the sinkhole was nice to stretch your legs, but it's certainly not a must.
Great sights and tour company.

5.00We booked out tour through GidOman and had the pleasure of having Rashid as our guide for thr day. We were part of a larger group, and Rashid was incredibly personable, professional, friendly, and charming. Despite there being some weaker swimmer in the griup, he remained patient throughout and made sure everyone felt safe and supported. Rashis is a credit to GidOman. To top it all off, he kindly treated the whole group to ice cream after a long day exploring the Wadi's and the Sinkhole-such a thoughtful gesture that made the experience even more memorable!
Great Day
