Wadi Shab is a valley with high rocky walls that make it deep canyon surrounding these emerald water and pools that you can’t miss it and MUST on the list of best things to do when you are travel to Oman.

Crossing the river by small boat. When you get there you will see a small group of a local people waiting with small boats to take you crossing the river. The entrance is free but for the boat crossing will cost 1 MOR (cash only) for round trip it will take about 3- 5 minutes.



Boat Crossing to Wadi Shab

Enjoy the views of the valley and hike in No. 1 Oasis in Oman. The starting part is the easy with a wide valley section. You will enjoy the walk with lots of palm tree and small farms also will see an irrigation systems. It a beautiful scenery contrast between the colors of the rock and the greenery of the oasis trees. Hiking it will take about 2 hours or less depends on the condition of travelers for both ways or more if you take sometime to swim or picnicking . It seem time is flying when you enjoy the views of the walls of rock and deep canyon.

Beginning of the hike is large paths.

Hike up along the high rocky walls views that lead you small pools. I love this part of hiking its difficult and dangerous you have to be very careful every steps you walk because it a narrows cliff and you hike above the water level that get you some excitement and unforgettable moment. You will also see beautiful pools with emerald color along this paths.

Narrows down hiking paths with the cliff.

You must follow a sign with an arrow painted on the rock if not you wrong paths will be more difficult and take you longer time and dangerous to fall down the cliff or big rocks.
