5.00It was great! Aburahman was great and patient! The wadi was gorgeous, a little slippery at some spots and some rubbish here and there but beautiful as a whole! Easy hike but very hot during the summer but you can dip in the water as you make your way up!

5.00Abdullah was the perfect guide and was even happy when I requested a 6 AM pickup. (-: We beat the heat, had a delicious Omani bread breakfast on the way and had an exceptional trip. He is a wonderful teacher and thoughtful guide, always pointing out things I would be interested in, like animals. The pools were spectacular, both the one at the ½ way hike point and the final ones leading to the cave. “Reef shoes” are essential and he kindly made a stop on the way to pick them up along with a waterproof mobile phone case. (I ended up using the reef shoes for the rocky hike, as they were much lighter/cooler than my hiking boots.). Also rented a life jacket and enjoyed floating…this is the new mental “happy place” I’ll go to when life back home becomes too much. Thank you Abdullah for a fun and truly memorable day.
Fun experience! We really...

5.00Fun experience! We really enjoyed it! If you have sensitive skin, then make sure that you take sunscreen with you to the final pool, so that after swimming, when you walk out of the Wadi, you don't get sun burnt.

5.00Our family trip to Wadi Shaab was truly amazing, especially with our young child in tow. Our tour guide, Maher, was incredibly patient and accommodating, making sure we could comfortably navigate the hike at our own pace. Beyond just Wadi Shaab, Maher also took us to a stunning white sand beach in Sur. This was an unexpected and delightful addition to our itinerary. We are so grateful for this wonderful experience and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Oman. Especially with our tour guide @maher_world Regards, @mumut
