Wadi Shab, Bimmah Sinkhole and Fins Beach Adventure

  • Leave Muscat in the morning and make your way to the wadi. Take a short stop at the Bimmah Sinkhole to capture photos or swim in the lake.
  • Then, pass through Fins Beach, a long white-sand beach, for a photo stop before arriving at Wadi Shab. After an hour's trek through the canyon, reach a clear water pool. The water is crystal clear, and it feels amazing to swim through it.
  • Continue onward to the last pool, where you will make your way through the canyon's cave. See light filtering through crevices and openings until you are rewarded with a small waterfall glowing in a cool blue colour. It is paradise.
  • Later, head back to Muscat to conclude the tour.

Note: If you don't want to swim, you can stay near the first pools where the water is shallow.
