Discover the incredible oasis of Wadi Shab - one of the last places in Oman where you can chill in fresh blue water surrounded by mountains. Enjoy a rewarding full-day experience as you explore this spectacular waterfall in a cave.

Start the tour with pick up from your hotel in Muscat. Hop into an air-conditioned vehicle and set off on a 2-hour scenic drive through the otherworldly landscapes of Oman. Along the route, stop at a local coffee shop to try an energizing Omani tea. When you arrive at your destination, hidden away in the canyon of the dry river Wadi-Shab, take a very quick boat ride to the other side of the bank. From here, embark on your 40-minute hike. During the walk, experience the awesome power of nature which has forged the rock formations of this impressive canyon.

On the way back, stop to see a beautiful lake located in the Bimmah Sinkhole. Finally, return to the vehicle and begin the drive back to Muscat where you will be dropped off at your hotel.

My wife’s money was stolen on the tour. So NOT recommend this organizer, bevause the guide told me that is safe to leave any belongings at the entry of the pool. So we went to swim about one hour, after arrived back, the money was stolen. I write the office organizer what happened and help me, but no correct answer just silly chat to review my problem etc etc the guide told me that is safe and never stolen but looks like do that. So again, not to recommend this trip!

This is not a tour for who lives in cold country, who is over 55 and kids . Very intense especially during spring and summertime . Make sure to have a running shoes even in water . Very slippery and dangerous hiking path . If it wasn’t about our experienced tour guide Jamal I would have had heatstroke. Also one of our group member fell down and dislocated his shoulder .be mindful and careful pls .

Great to visit and experience. If you are not a great swimmer then rent a life jacket before you get on the little boats. Cash only there though.
Great day out
