★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,862 reviews · 3 - 9 hours · from $40Our pick

Travel from Muscat with guides such as Mahmoud, Omar, Jamal, or Abdulrahman to Wadi Shab, where a rocky 40-minute hike leads to pools and a cave waterfall. Swim, enjoy lunch, taste Omani tea, then stop at Bimmah Sinkhole. Expect a long, active day with uneven ground and deep water.

“So being a group who are not used to trekking, we did find the trek going in quite challenging and couldn't really take a break as the rest of the group kept going and you can't find your way on your own if its your first time. It was hot and with our life jackets we were sweating and tired. The trek is pretty treacherous at several points but for those used to such risks it really is nothing For us it was a bit frightening at a few points but the views on the way are breathtaking and worth it. The pictures don't do justice. Our trek back was…”

Leave Muscat by air-conditioned vehicle for Wadi Shab, where an English-speaking guide such as Rashid, Mohammed, or Qais leads you along a rocky canyon to natural pools and a cave. After lunch, swim or take photos at Bimmah Sinkhole. Group and private options are available.

“Everything associated with this experience was brilliant. Qais was our driver (great driving skills!) & guide, he was fantastic and enthusiastic, looked after all of us and kept us informed throughout. His passion for what he does shines through and he communicates very well so once again high praise for this! It’s also a great way to see the landscape of Oman with several stops along the way. Wadi Shab is a stunning landscape, there’s so much to see even if you don’t swim like me! What was also a really nice touch was adequate level of ice cold water throughout. The vehicle was also very nice, modern, clean!”

“An unforgettable experience. The best possible guide tour in oman. If you want to organise a more private trip, and not with large group, with the possibility of even small variations according to your needs, they are the reference point for oman. In just one day we explored fantastic landscapes and experienced the full local culture. I recommend a tour with them to everyone. The tour guide is the best I have ever. We were also able to observe turtles with the view from the Lovers' Cave.”
