Excellent full day tour. We visited beautiful places with Nasser our guide who really looked after us. My wife is coeliac and he made sure that we were well catered for in the restaurant stop off. Wadi Shab is amazing but beach shoes are highly recommended as it can get slippy. We learned so much about Oman during the day through our chats in the car. Would 100% recommend this experience.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! 🌟 We’re so glad to hear that you had an excellent day exploring with Nasser and that he took such good care of you and your wife.

What an unforgettable day! Our trip with Oman Sharing Tours to Wadi Shab, Wadi Tiwi, Bimmah Sinkhole, and White Sand Beach was honestly the highlight of our whole Oman visit. Every place looked straight out of a dream — turquoise water, stunning cliffs, and peaceful beaches. But what made the day truly special was our guide, Mr. Amer. He was with us through everything — hiking, swimming, and even exploring the blue water cave inside Wadi Shab! He kept checking on everyone, making sure we were safe, smiling, and enjoying ourselves. It never felt like a guided tour — more like spending a fun day out with a friend who really cared. Thank you so much, Mr. Amer, for your energy and kindness. You turned a beautiful place into an amazing memory! 🌊

Our day trip with Oman Sharing Tours to Wadi Shab, Wadi Tiwi, Bimmah Sinkhole, and White Sand Beach was absolutely magical. The views were breathtaking — turquoise water, caves glowing with sunlight, and quiet stretches of white sand that felt untouched. What made the experience truly special was our guide, Mr. Amer. I’m not a swimmer, so I was honestly nervous about visiting Wadi Shab. But he made sure I felt safe every step of the way. He patiently helped me through the trek, showed me where to step in the water, and even guided me with a float so I could reach the beautiful blue lagoon cave that I thought I’d have to skip. Because of him, I didn’t just see Wadi Shab — I actually experienced it. He never rushed anyone, always kept a friendly smile, and made sure the whole group felt looked after. It turned out to be the most memorable day of my entire Oman trip. Huge thanks to Oman Sharing Tours and especially to Mr. Amer for his kindness, patience, and care. Highly recommended for anyone — even if you’re not a confident swimmer — you’ll be in the best hands!

His knowledge of the region, combined with his friendly and patient manner, made the whole adventure easy and enjoyable.

This was an incredible and unforgettable experience with the most knowledgeable and experienced guide Fausi. We are a family of six with 4 children (9-17) and Fausi was the perfect person to have had guiding us on this magical adventure. He is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, patient and passionate about his country and its beauty. He explained the stories surrounding the creation of the Sinkhole, as we travelled through various towns he explained their history and what their known for. The Wadi shab was absolutely stunning and a must see! The caves and the journey through them was breathtaking, the children loved im seeing such natural wonders. Fausi made the experience special, taking care of us and the children his personal touch was what made the trip such an unforgettable memory. All in all i would highly recommend this excursion when in Muscat and especially with Fausi.
