Wadi Shab in Oman. A great hike with nice swim
It's so peaceful, natural, and relaxing to hike in this valley (wadi in Arabic) the water is beautiful and you can definitely/must swim in it The hike is 3 out of 5 when it comes to it's difficulty. And if you really want to reach the end you need to swim a bit to find the waterfall It's like an adventure. You need to pay 1 Omani Real (20 RMB/ 3$) to pass the water by boat to enter the Wadi. Apart from this no need to pay anything else. Watch out when you hike and take some water with you. Try to go early morning around 8 as it gets hotter and more crowded later. They whole hike go and back could take you up to two hours. It's around an hour 45 minutes drive from muscat. Enjoy #oman #muscat

Wadi Shab
Visiting the 'Young Valley' was a unique experience. I wandered through the valley filled with breathtaking natural scenery and clear turquoise waters 🏞️. The journey to hidden waterfalls and caves was full of beautiful surprises as I enjoyed swimming in the cold water pools and navigating the waterways 🌊. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, with charming natural landscapes that made the experience a fun and relaxing adventure 🌿. It was a great opportunity to connect with nature and explore one of the most famous natural destinations in Oman.

Oasis between the valleys
Wadi Shab is one of the most popular attractions in Oman, for good reason. The journey involves a boat ride, a canyon hike through azure blue waters, swimming along multiple pools and then finally a waterfall in a cave! If all this sounds a little exhausting, do not fret – it’s an easy, beautiful day trip with no need for a guide. Shab’ translates to ‘gorge between the cliffs’, which is a perfect description. The hike reminded me of southern Utah, but with the added beauty of perfectly blue pools. #Travel #trip #oman #nature

⛰️Scenery along the way
The beginning of the road is gravel, without tree shade
The road ahead for 20 minutes is more sunburned, but you can feel the very primitive side of nature
The emerald green trees, flowers and a variety of wild animals make this place more pleasant
When you come to the canyon,
Because deep into the canyon, it is very cool and comfortable
The canyon blocks the sun on both sides, and there is a clear and bottomless natural pool in the canyon. The color is emerald green and looks particularly good

🏊End of hiking
The end is the waterfall and the pool. If you bring a swimsuit, you must go for a swim in the natural pool. Jump into the clear and transparent water, swim freely in the rushing river and play happily. If it is summer, it is more appropriate. When you get to the pool, jump in and melt all the heat into the water.
If you don't bring a swimsuit, you can stop hiking when you encounter a water crossing section, because the karst area inside requires swimming to reach the waterfall endpoint
