Itinerary

1
Wadi Shab
4 hr - 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. Observe how the local farmers live and work, maintaining their crops in rough, rocky lands using the old irrigation system as their water supply.

Bimmah Sinkhole
1 hr - Bimmah Sinkhole is a water-filled depression, structurally a sinkhole, in the limestone of eastern Muscat Governorate in the Sultanate of Oman. A lake of turquoise waters, it is 50 m by 70 m wide and approximately 20 m deep. The sinkhole was formed by a collapse of the surface layer due to dissolution of the underlying limestone.[However, locals believe that it was created by a meteorite, ‘Hawaiyat Najm’, which translates to ‘The Falling Star’ in Arabic, and hence the name. To preserve the sinkhole, the local municipality developed a park, Hawiyat Najm Park (Haweat Najm Park), around it, along with a stairway leading down to the lake.

Wadi Shab and Bimmah sinkhole

Mohammad and Fahmi were excellent tour guides with a lot of insight and knowledge about Oman and Omani culture. We enjoyed the conversations with them. We got to Wadi Shab early before the crowds and had a delightful swim to the cave. Pro tips: Don't forget to bring your aqua-socks; the rocks are slippery in spots and a few areas require walking over stony creek beds. To get all the way to the cave, you should be a competent swimmer. Lunch choice was delicious !! The sinkhole was a great spot to relax and swim. Overall, it was an incredible experience. Wadi Shab is not to be missed.
