[2025 Tiwi Attraction] Travel Guide for Wadi Shab (Updated Jul)

It's so peaceful, natural, and relaxing to hike in this valley (wadi in Arabic) the water is beautiful and you can definitely/must swim in it The hike is 3 out of 5 when it comes to it's difficulty. And if you really want to reach the end you need to swim a bit to find the waterfall It's like an adventure. You need to pay 1 Omani Real (20 RMB/ 3$) to pass the water by boat to enter the Wadi. Apart from this no need to pay anything else. Watch out when you hike and take some water with you. Try to go early morning around 8 as it gets hotter and more crowded later. They whole hike go and back could take you up to two hours. It's around an hour 45 minutes drive from muscat. Enjoy #oman #muscat

#earthdayjourney One of Oman’s most stunning natural gems, Wadi Shab is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Located in the Al Sharqiyah Region, this wadi is famous for its dramatic landscapes—emerald-green pools, towering cliffs, and lush vegetation that contrast with the rugged desert surroundings. The adventure begins with a scenic boat ride across the turquoise waters, followed by a hike through narrow canyons and ancient rock formations. Along the way, I was treated to breathtaking views and the calming sound of trickling water, creating a serene atmosphere. The highlight? Reaching the hidden caves with natural freshwater pools, it is perfect for a refreshing swim. What makes Wadi Shab even more special is the commitment to preserving its beauty. While exploring, I made sure to follow sustainable practices, such as minimizing waste and respecting local wildlife. The community around Wadi Shab is dedicated to eco-tourism, encouraging visitors to support the local economy while safeguarding the environment. #travel #oman #sustainabilitytravel #wadishab

# My Solo Girl Adventure at Wadi Shab, Oman! 💦 OMG guys, I just had the BEST day trip ever! 🤩 Took myself on a little adventure to Wadi Shab about 1.5 hours from Muscat. The journey was super easy - just booked a car for a day trip tour that was super convenient! If you're lucky like me, you might even score a private trip all to yourself! Headed along the coastal road, then started to walk and hike through this incredible canyon for about 30 mins. And LOOK AT THIS WATER! 😍 Crystal clear turquoise pools nestled between massive rocks. I couldn't believe places like this actually exist! The swim was absolutely refreshing after the hike. Tips if you're a solo girl traveler: - Felt totally safe the whole time! - Wore a tee and swim shorts (modest but comfy) - Started early to avoid crowds and heat - Brought snacks (no shops there) - Don't forget sunscreen and water! If you're wondering if Oman is solo-girl friendly - YES IT IS! Everyone was respectful and helpful. This has to be one of the most stunning natural spots I've ever visited. 10/10 recommend adding this to your Oman bucket list! ✨ #OmanAdventures #SoloGirlTravel #WadiShab #TurquoiseWaters #MiddleEastMagic

This year's first hike was to the Wadi Shab Grand Canyon in Muscat, Oman! It takes two or three minutes to take the ferry to get to the other side of the river. The hiking time is not very long, but some parts of the road are a bit difficult to walk. The water was emerald green, clear and pure. Two young European men and women jumped into the water repeatedly to swim. I really admire their courage.

Wadi Shab is a must when traveling to Muscat, Oman. Just 1:40h car ride away a beautiful swimmers‘ paradise awaits. We walked for around 40 minutes from the main road, and then swam about 800m to reach a cave we swum in. The water is from a spring so it is very clean and clear! The weather is always very hot though so remember to bring a lot of water and a hat is also a must! #oman #nature

Visiting the 'Young Valley' was a unique experience. I wandered through the valley filled with breathtaking natural scenery and clear turquoise waters 🏞️. The journey to hidden waterfalls and caves was full of beautiful surprises as I enjoyed swimming in the cold water pools and navigating the waterways 🌊. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, with charming natural landscapes that made the experience a fun and relaxing adventure 🌿. It was a great opportunity to connect with nature and explore one of the most famous natural destinations in Oman.

Wadi Shab is one of the most popular attractions in Oman, for good reason. The journey involves a boat ride, a canyon hike through azure blue waters, swimming along multiple pools and then finally a waterfall in a cave! If all this sounds a little exhausting, do not fret – it’s an easy, beautiful day trip with no need for a guide. Shab’ translates to ‘gorge between the cliffs’, which is a perfect description. The hike reminded me of southern Utah, but with the added beauty of perfectly blue pools. #Travel #trip #oman #nature

#Overseas travel #Oman #Wadi Shab 🇴🇲 Wadi Shab, Oman (Oman Wadi Shab) I would like to introduce swimming in Wadi Shab Valley, the most enjoyable moment during my 2-day, 1-night trip to Oman. Wadi Shab is probably the most popular tourist destination in Oman! Wadi Shab is a charming place where you can see a cool valley after trekking for about 45 minutes under the hot sun. I really like trekking and swimming, so if you are a trekking and swimming enthusiast like me, I would definitely recommend visiting this place. For those who are not good at swimming, you can rent a life jacket for about 3,500 won at the introduction of Wadi Shab. There are 3 large valleys, and at the end, you can enjoy the valley by passing through a cave! The water is cool, and it was great because I could wash away the sweat I shed while trekking. If you are traveling to Oman, try swimming in Wadi Shab ㅎㅎ

#Overseas travel #Oman #Wadi Shab 🇴🇲 Wadi Shab, Oman 💚 I'm introducing Wadi Shab trekking, which was the most enjoyable during my 2-day, 1-night trip to Oman. Oman, the land of Sindbad, has many natural scenic spots! Among them, I visited Wadi Shab, which is the most well-known and popular. It is a trekking course where you feel nature while passing through a stone path and over a stone mountain, and you reach the destination in about 45 minutes, so even those with weak stamina can do it. The stone mountain looks rugged in the photo, but it was easy to walk lightly. It was really amazing and exotic to walk while looking at the magnificent and huge stone mountain. If you are planning a trip to Oman, come to Wadi Shab 💚
