Wadi Shab

From Sur we continue our journey to Wadi Shab, this Wadi is an enormous canyon gorge that is lined with palm trees and impressive indications of what the power of the water coming down from the mountains can do in nature. With a 35 to 40 minute hike up through the canyon Wadi (walking shoes or trainer and swimming are required), we arrive at one of the crystal clear water pools, tourists can swim through the warm waters from pool to pool. eventually, we come to the last pool where an opening among the enormous rocks allows us to swim into an incredible crevice cave with a small waterfall inside, the sunlight filters in from the outside, turning the water into a beautiful turquoise blue whilst the water showers down one side of the cave from the Wadi beyond.
