Itinerary
-
Day 1- Muscat – Bimmah Sink Hole – White Sand Beach – Wadi Shab – Wadi Tiwi – Wahiba Sands Desert
- Depart Muscat, approximately at 8:30 am. Our first stop on this day is Bimmah Sink Hole, a big crater near the sea with a small lake at the bottom, which is believed to have been created by a meteor, our next stop to Fins Beach, It is strikingly white, curiously pebbly, incredibly blue and jaw-droppingly amazing.
- Then, we will continue the drive 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.
- After around a 35-minute hike up through the canyon Wadi, we will arrive at one of several crystal-clear water pools. Tourists can swim on through the warm waters from pool to pool. Eventually, we will 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 water showers down one side of the cave from the wadi beyond.
- Our next stop is the Wadi Tiwi photo stop, which is named after the Tiwi village at the coast, is a beautiful wadi with lush plantations giving it a different (certainly greener) feel than many other wadis, then continue drive to Wahiba Sands Desert.
