Swimming, Trekking, Canyoning in the Local’s Favorite SWIMMING HOLE | Wadi Ash Shab | Oman Vlog

SUBSCRIBE to get notified of our next video!!!


***************************************************

On our first day in the country, we explored Oman’s beautiful coastline. We drove south from Muscat towards a local favorite swimming hole - Wadi Ash Shab which is near Tiwi Beach and the Bimmah Sinkhole.

There was a large parking lot so parking was not an issue, but getting out of the car was because of all the goats! That was an animal interaction we were not expecting!

The hike was HOT with no cover so we were so glad when we reach the first swimming hole in this desert oasis. The water was clear and so refreshing! The wadi ends with a secret cave that you can only get to by swimming!

Be sure to include this on your visit to Oman as it’s easily one of the top 10 best spots!

ABOUT US

We have been traveling together for the last 10 years. It all started when we applied to the Amazing Race show and they called us for an interview. We interviewed but didn’t make the final cut because we didn’t have enough ‘drama’ in our relationship. But that didn’t stop us from doing our OWN amazing race of traveling the world but at our own pace! We have just hit our 50th country and thought it would be fun to document our journey!

We are looking forward to hitting all 215 countries. Subscribe to our channel and join us on the adventure!!

Wadi Shab, Oman - swimming into the secret cave

Hiking into the Wadi Shab in Oman where the last part of the trip can only be done by swimming through natural pools of crystal clear water. The final part takes you into a small cave with a nearly invisible underwater entrance. The reward is amazing: A waterfall inside the cave, lit by a beam of sunlight from an opening in the ceiling of the cave. Even Disney would not have imagined a scenery like this!

Wadi Shab Oman - Trekking and Swimming to the caves

Oh Man! Who would have thought this place could be so beautiful? Oman is paradise for hikers and swimmers and one of the most popular of the beautiful Oman hikes is Wadi Shab. Take a small boat across to the start of the Wadi hike. You will then be trekking for about 50 minutes to 1 hour to the Wadi. When you reach the Wadi pools you can swim (dress conservatively) and if you are a strong swimmer swim to the caves of Wadi Shab - beautiful enclosed caverns with pools and waterfalls inside. Aqua shoes and googles are good to take on this trip.

Wadi Ash Shab Oman - A jump into the swimming hole - cliff jumping 2015

A 1.5 hour drive from Muscat will get you to Wadi Shab. The roads are excellent on the way if you take the newly completed dual carriage way. On the way to or back from Wadi Shab check out the sink hole - also a beautiful spot 10 minutes from Wadi Shab. This is well marked from the highway as well.

You can easily get to the swimming spot in the video by paying 1 Omani Rial for a boat which will take you across the water, but I decided to save the money and wade across. It is a bit muddy, but at the time didn't get above waist deep. Then it was about a 30 minute walk up the valley over soft sand and loose rocks to get to this swimming spot. There is a key hole cave further up. If you pay close attention to the video you can see where I jumped which if the water level is the same will probably be safe to do so at other times. No guarantees however (don't sue me) as my feet did touch the bottom lightly the first time that I did it, do I bent my knees a bit the second time.

Hiking and swimming in Wadi Shab || Oman

#oman #wadishab #hiking #canyon #swimming
Wadi Shab is one of the most popular outdoor attractions in Oman. At the entrance to the wadi, local villagers take tourists by boat to the beginning of the hike. After a short drive, the hike begins through palm groves along the steep cliffs of the canyon. We also enjoy swimming in freshwater pools filled with clear water. A deep canyon, freshwater pools and waterfalls provide an unforgettable hiking and swimming experience.

Swimming in the amazing Wadi Shab cave, Oman

Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series 2012 - Wadi Shab, Oman

Wadi Shab lies in Niyabat Tiwi, a village between the capital, Muscat, and the town of Sur. Easy to reach from the Qurayyat-Sur highway; it has at least seven pools of emerald green water and is studded with dramatic boulders. One of the pools is in a cave where light streams in dramatically from above and there are fantastic echoes heard when one swims in it. Kingfishers add glorious splashes of colour. © Red Bull Media House

Wadi Ash Shab | Place to visit in Muscat

Wadi Ash Shab | Place to Visit in Muscat
Go beyond the normal, climb up the waterfall and get your adrenaline rush by jumping into a natural pool inside a cave. The most natural adventure i have ever experienced. visit oman 2020, best thing to do for tourism and adventure.

Located on a 2 hours drive from Muscat towards Sur. Once you park your vehicle, a small boat takes you across a small river after which you hike for 30 minutes walking through sharp stones and cool rivers...
You will pass through a crevice by either swimming underneath it or just popping your head out.It is easily one of the top things to do when visiting Oman, a must visit and not to be missed.

It is one of the locations where Red bull cliff diving world series final was held.if you are an adventure junkie, once you visit wadi shab you will take the memories for life.

Solo, friends or family...this place is for all.
Don't forget to carry your water shoes !!

We went CANYON & CAVE SWIMMING at Wadi Bani Khalid, Oman

SUBSCRIBE to get notified of our next video!!!


*************************************************
We stopped by another wadi - Wadi Bani Khalid on our way back to Muscat. This one was more narrow than Wadi Ash Shab and much easier to hike into. The water was so refreshing as we swam in the narrow canyons up to a small waterfall.

Swimming in Wadi Shab Canyon in Oman

Swimming at the end of Wadi Shab Canyon in Oman, I couldnt pluck up the courage to swim the final bit into the cave.

OMAN | Wadi Shab (Swimming to secret cave!)

Day 5 (19 December 2019) road-tripping in Oman. Driving from Wahiba / Sharqiya Sands to Wadi Shab.

To reach the hidden waterfall inside the secret cave of Wadi Shab, you have to be a good swimmer and be able to stay afloat in deep water for at least 10 minutes. You will also have to swim against the current from the waterfall as you get into the cave and you will have to go through a small crack on a rock that might require you to dive a bit. So make sure you can do all of this and you are good to go.

The BEAUTY AND DANGER of WADI SHAB – Oman's Most Spectacular Valley and Bimmah Sinkhole

Welcome to the most scenic valley in Oman! Wadi Shab is not only a hiking paradise, but it also has very well hidden gems, which require a challenging swim to get to: a cave and a waterfall.
This area between Muscat and Sur also has many paradise beaches, like White Sand Beach, which I’ve visited along the way. At the end of the day I descended into a massive Bimmah Sinkhole, which nobody knows when the collapse happened…
