Review of Oman’s Wadi Shab and Bimmah Sinkhole tour, with hike, swimming, lunch, guide tips, safety advice, and value details.
“The videos do not do Wadi Shab justice. It was a really incredible excursion and the highlight of my entire trip to Oman. The guides were incredibly attentive and one even offered to carry my backpack, when he learned that I had some health issues. The walk/swim through the pools is much longer than expected, so might not be suitable for elderly travelers, but it was great fun for me and the cave at the end is simply incredible. This should be included in all those bucket lists you see floating around, but I’m glad that it isn’t, because it’s not terribly overcrowded. Do take enough water though…45min might not…”
