Very nice experience. The scenery is beautiful and the swimming unforgettable. The guide was very interesting Worth the 5*
Discover not to be missed , an exceptional memory , thanks to our guide Nacer, for a very good day. Very well guided to the end of the whadi , to end in this splendid cave, where we took full eyes. The long swim is very pleasant in this magical setting
We had a great tour with our tour guide Nassar who showed us Wadi Shab. We were out early and Nassar showed us some hidden spots. This allowed us to escape the crowds of tourists. It was a unique experience, thank you very much!
Amazing! This tour is a must-do. Our guide, Said, was incredible. He was friendly, well-informed, and flexible. The place is breathtaking; crystal clear waters, incredible landscapes, and a great hike. We loved this tour and highly recommend everyone to visit. Go early to beat the crowds, basic swim skills required & reasonable fitness level for trekking (approx 45 - 1 hour walking).
Wonderful day at WADI Shab with Nasser who knows the place perfectly. Thanks to him I discovered WADI differently. He showed me exclusives. Visit and swim in the cave and see what only Omanis know. I spent the day with Nasser who remained attentive to my expectations. Did not hesitate to leave the course to show me other wonders of Oman. 2nd stay in Oman but not last. Oman is wonderful. I recommend Nasser.
Amazing landscape. Totally worth it. We were lucky that we made the tour off-season. It can get very crowded and some passages in the water are very tight. Stone/ground in the water is very slippery, it‘s helpful to wear shoes or be able/ used to climb. Recommend that you wear a T-shirt in the water and to bring changing clothes. No possibility to lock personal (valuable) items while in the water, so recommanded to bring waterproof bag or leave valuables in the car.
I recommend 100% the experience of Wadi shab. Privatized tour with a guide with little care. The guide adapts to the desires and the weather.
Amazing nature, what a wonderful experience. After a 30-40min walk you find a Canyon Pool and you follow it into a stunning cave. With our guide Nasser we were always safe and guided just in the best passible way. 😁🤩
We had an incredible tour to Wadi Shab with Nasser! The hike was scenic, the swimming in the crystal-clear pools was refreshing, and the picnic lunch was a perfect touch. Nasser was a fantastic guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. Highly recommend this experience!
Said was a great guide with local knowledge of the area. He had hilarious stories for us and had a fun time with us. Highly recommend. He led us through the Wadi and all the swimming pools and we had a great time!
Thank you for taking time to share your positive experience. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us.
