Wadi Shab is a breathtaking natural wonder that combines adventure with tranquility. The hike through the wadi is picturesque, leading to turquoise pools nestled between rugged cliffs. Swimming in the clear, cool water is a highlight, especially after the scenic trek. It’s an ideal spot for those seeking both physical activity and natural beauty. A memorable experience, though be prepared for a bit of a workout!

in the beginning we thought it would be difficult to do this hike but it was completely the opposite. My favourite part was when we take the boat in the beginning honestly I highly recommend recommended to everybody.

It was my first time to do this kind of adventure and the guide was super patient and friendly. The hike wasn’t that challenging and I believe it’s possible for all levels. The water isn’t very cold and it’s super refreshing.

Wadi Shab was challenging but worthwhile. Our guide Ahmed kept a constant eye on me (75 years old) and gave me a sense of security. Without this “supervision”, swimming in the upper part of the Wadi would have been a somewhat risky adventure with constantly changing water depths in the rock. Even if the sinkhole drops slightly compared to the Wadi Shab overall a highly recommended tour. Many thanks to Ahmet!
