Hike through Wadi Shab, swim to a waterfall cave, enjoy lunch, and visit Oman’s turquoise Bimmah Sinkhole on an 8-hour tour.
“Decided to travel to Oman two days before our flight and we are glad we did. Amazed at how beautiful Oman is and how humble their people are. Wadi Shab was beautiful but we were not physically ready to trek and swim. The activity was quite rushed and we were hurrying to get to the falls. Half of the people from the group did not make it and decided to wait for those who went. Life vests must be provided for those who could not swim so they can enjoy as well. We stayed at the sinkhole for only 30 minutes. Just enough for you to go down and see…”

“We had such a wonderful experience on this tour! From the very beginning, Hamza made us feel comfortable and at ease. He was incredibly patient, attentive, and knowledgeable, which made the whole day even more enjoyable. The tour itself was everything we had hoped for and more. A special thank you to Hamza for helping me through the cave — something I would have completely avoided because of my claustrophobia. Thanks to his calm encouragement and support, I was able to enjoy an experience I never thought possible. We would absolutely do this tour again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure!”
