    Wadi Shab

    The drive along the coast is an experience in itself, leading to one of Oman’s most beautiful natural paradises: Wadi Shab. Lined with palm trees and banana plantations, an approximately 45-minute mountain trek takes you through an impressive canyon to natural pools of crystal-clear water. Please note: this is a moderately challenging mountain hike and not recommended for travelers with knee problems. Here you can swim in pleasantly tempered water all year round. At the end of the wadi, a small hidden waterfall awaits, which can be reached by swimming. Note: suitable for confident swimmers only. Lunch at a traditional restaurant After the active part of the day, enjoy a delicious lunch and take in the views of the surrounding landscape.

We take a short walk through the oasis while your guide explains the traditional Falaj irrigation systems that channel mountain water through the oasis.
