The itinerary

Day 01

Wadi Tiwi, Wadi Shab, Bimmah Sinkhole and Fins Beach

Depart Muscat at approximately 8:30 am. Your first stop is Wadi Tiwi, named after the coastal village of Tiwi. It is a beautiful wadi with lush plantations, giving it a different - and certainly greener - feel than many other wadis. You can go swimming and hiking here.
Then continue driving to the Wadi Shab photo stop. This enormous canyon gorge is lined with palm trees and offers impressive signs of the power of water flowing down from the mountains and shaping the landscape.
Your next stop is the Bimmah Sinkhole, a large crater near the sea with a small lake at the bottom, believed to have been created by a meteor.
Later, proceed to Fins Beach, which is strikingly white, curiously pebbly, incredibly blue, and jaw-droppingly amazing.
In the afternoon, head back to Muscat.
