Fantastic Experience, Must-go tour - Saif was an amazing tour guide.
Very knowledgeable of the trail, gave useful tips, took our photos, and ate good food after.
He is an excellent conversationalist who knows many things about Oman’s history and the history of the wadi & sinkhole. Made the trail easy as well for beginners like me.
Tour was a 5/5 will go again and bring more friends!

Wadi Shab / Bimah sinkhole & green mountains - Saif is the best GUIDE in Oman, he lives his profession, knows everything about the country, its history and its people
he answered our questions completely, gladly again and again
under his guidance we visited wadi shab and nizwa (market) and surroundings, and especially ‘green mountains’.

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!!!!!
