From Muscat, Wadi Shab & Bimmah Sinkhole Full-Day Tour


GidOman


Discover the main attraction of Wadi Shab, a magical waterfall within a cave, during this full-day tour. Take a 40-minute hike to reach the destination, where you can also dive into a couple of pools. Marvel at the Bimmah Sinkhole on the way back.


Muscat



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.
Be sure to bring along your waterproof cameras and shoes so that when you reach the lake you can snap some photos and walk around the magnificent site.
Admire the cascade of the waterfall and take a refreshing dip in the beautiful blue water to cool off from the heat. 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 and the tour concludes.
