Highlights
- Wadi Shab - The tour begins in the morning as we depart from Muscat towards Wadi Shab. This Wadi is a vast canyon gorge adorned with palm trees and remarkable signs of the water’s power descending from the mountains. After a 35 to 40-minute walk and hike through the canyon (walking shoes or trainers are required), we reach one of the crystal-clear water pools. Visitors can swim through the warm waters from one pool to another. Eventually, we arrive at the final pool, where an opening among the massive rocks allows us to swim into an astonishing crevice cave with a small waterfall. Inside, sunlight filters in from outside, turning the water into a stunning turquoise blue while water cascades down one side of the cave from the Wadi beyond.
- Fins Beach - Fins Beach offers a panorama of strikingly white sands and an intriguingly pebbly beach, with sparkling turquoise waters and a soft, cool breeze.
- Bimmah Sinkhole - On the way back to Muscat from Fins Beach, we stop at Bimmah Sinkhole (swimming in the sinkhole lake is possible). Bimmah Sinkhole is a water-filled depression, structurally a sinkhole, in the limestone of eastern Muscat Governorate in the Sultanate of Oman. It features a lake of turquoise waters, measuring 50 m by 70 m wide and approximately 20 m deep. Located about 600 m from the sea, between the coastal towns of Dibab and Bimmah village, the sinkhole was formed by the collapse of the surface layer due to the dissolution of the underlying limestone. To preserve the sinkhole, the local municipality developed a park around it.
From the sinkhole, we drive back to Muscat.

Amazing Wadi adventure - We had an amazing day with Fauzi in Oman. The wadis were incredibly beautiful, and it was so much fun hiking and swimming. He took great care of us and made sure we were always safe. The lunch we had of fresh fish from the market was also very delicious. Oman is a wonderful country, and this tour is the perfect way to see some of its amazing sites. We highly recommend it.

A great experience for all - Wadi Shab and the Bimmah Sinkhole are true nature wonders and a must when in Oman. But in addition to these two stops our guide also made serval stops to places only a local would know - hidden beaches and caves. To top this experience, we had an actual feast for a lunch of Omani foods in the lovely town of Tiwi. The tour was equally appreciated by both my older parents and my more adventurous self. :)

Visit to Wadi Shab and Bimmah Sinkhole - A visit to Wadi Shab is a must-do while in Oman. It's one of the most lovely things we've ever seen! We had a fantastic day in paradise. Walking and climbing for 45 minutes may seem difficult, but our tour guide Salim made it look easy.
We had a wonderful day with Salim our tour guide who took our family of four to Wadi Shab and Bimmah Sinkhole. He is a very friendly and knowledgeable guide, and we are grateful for his excellent service and willingness to share his knowledge and experience with us. We ate at a local restaurant for lunch.
He picked us up from our hotel on time in a very comfortable car and made our journey enjoyable, especially since we were travelling with children.
I'll be writing a full review on my website soon.
We are definitely going to come back for more adventures.
Thanks for organizing a wonderful trip,
Kind Regards,

Wadi Shab Day Trip - Greetings All,
We would like to thank you all for a fantastic day visiting both Al Shab and Mibam Wadies. It was really nice and my family (Deema, Zainab and Hashim) enjoyed it very much. Nasser was of great help and knowledgeable about the area. His attention to the fine details is absolutely fantastic. We have enjoyed every part of our trip and we had a great time.
We are definitely going to come back for more adventures.
Thanks dear Abdullah for organizing a wonderful trip,
Kind Regards,
Ghazi

To learn about the various planes in the lush valley - The trip was truly enjoyable. Our guide Khalid is kind and knowledgeable, punctual and responsible, and he helped carry my heavy rucksack all the way through... While we were enjoying our time, he also swam up the valley to collect rubbish left by tourists.. he tried his best to accommodate all our requests. I would highly recommend him and the tour

Excellent family day with Abdullah - We spent a great day with Abdullah, who took us (family of four) to Wadi Shab and Bimmah Sinkhole in December, 2019. He is a very friendly, experience guide and we are very grateful for his excellent service and for sharing his knowledge and experience with us. We had lunch in a local restaurant which was also delicious.
He also took us on a short trip to the main spots in Muscat before taking us to the port to go back to our cruise.
We highly recommend this excursion and this guide and tour operator. Muchas gracias from Spain, Abdullah!!! :-)

What an amazing day - Thank you Khliad for such a wonderful day. Our guide picked us up on time. We travelled in a very comfortable 4x4. Khliad proudly told lots about his country, shared some of his homemade Arabic coffee and dates with us and brought us to this amazing Wadi, I have to say it’s one of my best experiences, swimming between the mountains and into a cave with a waterfall in crystal clear water is hard to beat. We stopped in a small village for lunch which was excellent and only £10 for two and then onto Bimmah sinkhole for another swim. This is such a beautiful country with great people. Go with this company they were great.

Best tour to date - Another fantastic tour with Abdullah to Wadi Shab and Bimmah Sinkhole.
Abdullah collected us from our hotel and drove directly to Wadi Shab, was very knowledgable and extremely safe in the water. We had a fantastic lunch with Abdullah which we’d highly recommend and then onto the Sinkhole, en route we stopped at a fantastic beach and saw turtles and gazelles.
One of the best tours we’ve been on and a great guide. Would highly recommend!
