Amazing experience ! - We went to visit Wadi Shab and Sinkhole with our two children (9 and 15) and had an excellent daytrip. We were picked up at 8am in a comfortable and secure 4x4 car, and enjoyed a 1,5 hour drive with wonderful landscape from Muscat to Wadi Shab. We then had a 45 minutes hike towards the first pool and swam our way upwards to the hidden cascade… our guide Kalfan was great and showed us the best spots! My kids had great fun on this tour! We highly recommend this experience!!

An Amazing Experience with a Great Tour Guide - We booked the Wadi Shab/Sinkhole tour via our hotel, and we had Saif al Aghbari as our tour guide.
We had an amazing day! Saif looked after us so well - explained everything we were seeing (from the moment we were in the car in Muscat until we left him later in the day!).
The hike itself at Wadi Shab is very easy going with just some treacherous rocks at points. You can jump in from the higher points if you like! Very fun.
The sinkhole and the white beach are beautiful as well.
Overall it was a great experience made all the better by a great (and friendly!) tour guide.
Thank you Saif!!!!!

An amazing trip to remember - I took a solo trip with driver Said. It was simply amazing. It was fun from start to finish visiting some amazing locations, seeing natural beauty while hiking through the wadi and swimming in some amazing water. Lunch on the beach was followed by a trip to the sinkhole then a scenic ride home through the mountains.
Said is a simply fantastic guide he really made the day for me. His knowledge and enthusiasm for the tour was second to none. It was so much fun the entire day chatting away and enjoying it all. It really was like I had visited and spent the day with a friend.
Thank you so much.

Wadi Shab, the key to the heaven! - One of the most amazing tours I have ever enjoyed with the most talented dedicated Said Alhabsi who really did a very great job in terms of maintaining us safe, guiding us to the best spots, sharing his recommendations as well as extending his good care of every single person.
It was such a very exceptional experience!
