Highlights
Discover the incredible oasis of Wadi Shab, one of the last places in Oman where you can chill in fresh blue water surrounded by mountains. Enjoy a rewarding full-day experience as you explore this spectacular waterfall in a cave. Start the tour with pick up from your hotel in Muscat. Hop into an air-conditioned vehicle and set off on a 2-hour scenic drive through the otherworldly landscapes of Oman. Along the route, stop at a local coffee shop to try an energizing Omani tea. When you arrive at your destination, hidden away in the canyon of the dry river Wadi-Shab, take a very quick boat ride to the other side of the bank. From here, embark on your 40-minute hike. During the walk, experience the awesome power of nature which has forged the rock formations of this impressive canyon. Observe how the local farmers live and work, maintaining their crops in rough, rocky lands using the old irrigation system as their water supply.

About Muscat
Muscat, Oman's capital, stretches between rugged mountains and the Gulf of Oman, with a grand mosque, old forts, souks and a graceful corniche.
The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque is the city's showpiece, with a vast prayer hall, an enormous hand-woven carpet and a crystal chandelier, set among marble courtyards. In old Muscat, the colourful Al Alam Palace is flanked by the Portuguese-era forts of Jalali and Mirani, perched on rocks above the harbour.
