Amazing hike with swimming and sinkhole.

Hamza is an amazing guide. He knows his way around the area and adjusts the tempo based on the conditions. Also very aware of safety during rocky/slippery hikes. Would recommend 10/10!

Incredible Experience!!

Fantastic experience exploring the Wadi Shab with our tour guide Yousef! We had an incredible experience and from the very beginning, he was professional, friendly, and made me and my husband feel welcome. His knowledge of the area, local culture, and the best spots along the trail made the experience even more enjoyable. Yousef was patient, attentive, and always made sure we were safe and comfortable throughout the hike and swim. He shared helpful tips, kept the pace enjoyable, and went above and beyond to make the day memorable. Thanks to his enthusiasm and genuine hospitality, our visit to Wadi Shab was one of the highlights of our time in Oman- especially swimming in the Wadi. We highly recommend Yousef to anyone looking for an exceptional guide. Thank you for an unforgettable adventure!

Great Trip to Wadi Shab

Wadi Shab is fantastic, Bimmah Sinkhole wasn’t up to much. If you can negotiate the trip to just do the Wadi, that is my recommendation. However, we tied this in to an early flight arrival, and the wadi was the best way to overcome the flight. We also got collected from the airport and dropped off at our hotel, so saved messing about with taxis too.

Wadi shaab Family Tour

Great excursion with a great Hamza guide! Despite our poor level of English Hamza has been patient and has us besides being a great guide learned several things about Oman and its history. I highly recommend this excursion to see and do. Made in family where a 5 year old child the course is sporty but largely doable the presence of a guide is still a big plus

Good time from start to finish

It was absolutely breathtaking to see emerald green water alongside rocks/canyon in Wadi Shab. Honestly I totally underestimated the hike and didn’t come prepared so I stopped halfway, but the views were already worth it up to that point, and Sinkhole afterwards was a relaxing excursion. Ammar, our guide was attentive and tried to cater to both of our interests/needs, he was also funny and we had fun spending time until the end of our trip. Thank you Ammar and the whole company for the lovely experience.

Review - just wanted to say a huge thank you to Mohammed who was an excellent tour guide - he picked us up on time was really friendly and kind even when my wife was struggling a bit on the rocks and in the swimming he was so patient. Wadi shab was so beautiful and we had an amazing time.He took us to an excellent place for lunch then in the afternoon we visited the sinkhole. We had such a lovely day - would highly recommend Mohammed!

A memorable day

We had a great day thanks to our amazing guide Yousef from WEB Tours. He picked us up from our hotel at 9 am, the car was very comfortable and the journey to Wadi Shab seemed shorter thanks to the interesting conversation with Yousef, who entertained us with stories about his country and adventures. Despite the fact that there were many tourists at the wadi (it was 1st January!), we enjoyed ourselves immensely. The lunch provided on the way back was probably the most delicious and authentic meal we had in Oman.

Great tour to the Wabi...

Great tour to the Wabi Shab and the sinkhole. Our guide Ammar knew his business, spoke excellent English and took his time to explain things. Don't forget to wear your swimming gear before heading there, so you can enjoy the nice swim to the cave. It was a bit busy when we got there, so try to be there early.
