Wadi Shab & Bimmah Sinkhole Full-Day Tour
Escape the city on a full-day journey along Oman's eastern coast, combining two of the country's most photographed natural wonders. Begin with a short hike into Wadi Shab, a narrow canyon of turquoise pools framed by palm groves and limestone cliffs, where a short swim leads to a hidden cave waterfall.
