We spent a few hours here. The valley is beautiful and the water is an amazing blue colour. The hike is a easy one and most people can do it with a good pair of runners. We did not make it all the way to the waterfall because it was getting late in the day but well worth the amount... More

At this particular wadi one can experince walking alongside the wadi meamwhile watching on both sides of the wadi high mountains. As you go further there is a nice swimming spot where after a swim you gonna enjoy your picnic lunch and start back again to a car park. This is a place to a double body exercise.( swim n... More

We came by an organized trip which comprized also Binah Sinkhole and cost 60 rial (but we were charged 140 € because we hadn't changed our money). Anyway, the road to Wadi Shab is in a perfect state so you can come smoothly by a rented car. Besides, road signs are also in English and there's a parking lot in... More

Wadi Shab was the coolest attraction in the Sultanate of Oman....it takes about an Hour and a half to get there from Muscat. You can park your car under the under pass in the car park and then for like 0.100 omr (about 3 usd) you can get in a little motor boat with this old Arab guy and he'll... More

Loved it very much. When you arrive a couple of men are there with boats to bring you (for 400 bias one way) to the other site of the 'river'. Then you can walk thru the Wadi. First part is sand and there after cobble stones and rocks. If you have some difficulty walking this is not the spot for... More

Our whole family hiked and swam up to the cave at the end of the Wadi. The cave is amazing and the hike and surroundings at the Wadi are excellent. A must-do when in Oman.

The increasingly adventurous walk/clamber up the wadi, beneath the spectacular, soaring walls, is wonderfully rounded off by swimming/wading through several pools and finally negotiating the low airspace tunnel into the cave with a further waterfall. Warm water in breathtaking blues and fabulous water-worn rock. Difficult no to descend into cliches, but this really is a sensational place.

You must do this. You must go all the way to the end of the pools and swim into the cavern. If you have children, they will love this. There are great "rock jumping" opportunities. Our favourite day in Oman.

Walking up the Wadi and wading/swimming through the pools is amazing . But then swimming into the final cave beats that. The colour of the water with the sunlight is fantastic.
