Average Guest Reviews
I recommand doing wadi shab tour from Sur not from Muscat.
We did the Wadi Shab Tour from Muscat and overall it was a very good day. The place is very beautiful. The walk through the wadi was nice and not too difficult. The water in the pools is clear and good for swimming. The small cave with the waterfall at the end was my favorite part of the tour. Our guide was friendly and explained a few things about the area. We also stopped at Bimmah Sinkhole, which is a nice place with blue water where you can relax and take photos. There was one problem during the trip. Near Bimmah Sinkhole the car tire got flat, so we had to stop and change it. This took some time and we waited there for a while. It was not a big problem, but it did waste some time. Even with that issue, the tour was still very enjoyable. The nature is beautiful and the day was well organized. I recommend this tour if you want to see Wadi Shab
Il tour privato di un’intera giornata a Wadi Shab e Bimmah Sinkhole da Muscat è stata un’esperienza davvero molto bella e intensa, soprattutto per chi ama la natura e non ha problemi a camminare e nuotare. I paesaggi lungo la costa tra Quriyat e Sur sono spettacolari e il viaggio in auto è già di per sé parte dell’esperienza. La guida locale è stata gentile, disponibile e attenta ai tempi, cercando di adattare il ritmo alle nostre esigenze. Wadi Shab è senza dubbio il punto forte della giornata: il trekking tra palme, rocce e corsi d’acqua è affascinante e l’arrivo alle piscine naturali ripaga tutta la fatica. La nuotata fino alla grotta con la cascata è un momento davvero unico, uno di quelli che restano impressi. Tuttavia, bisogna dire che il percorso può risultare impegnativo per chi non è abituato a camminare su terreni irregolari, soprattutto con il caldo. Forse sarebbe utile sottolinearlo ancora di più prima della partenza. Il Bimmah Sinkhole è molto bello e suggestivo, perfetto per rilassarsi dopo l’escursione, anche se rispetto a Wadi Shab l’ho trovato un po’ più turistico e meno “selvaggio”. Inoltre, il tempo a disposizione qui è stato piuttosto limitato: avrei voluto restare qualche minuto in più per godermelo con calma. Un altro piccolo aspetto da considerare è che il biglietto d’ingresso a Wadi Shab (1 OMR) non è incluso e va pagato in contanti sul posto. Non è una cifra alta, ma è meglio saperlo in anticipo. Anche il pranzo non è incluso, quindi conviene organizzarsi o chiedere alla guida una sosta consigliata. Nel complesso, resta un tour di altissimo livello, ben organizzato e ideale per scoprire due dei luoghi naturali più iconici dell’Oman in un solo giorno. Non do 5 stelle solo per la fatica del percorso e i tempi un po’ stretti in alcuni punti, ma lo consiglio comunque vivamente a chi cerca un’esperienza autentica e panorami straordinari.
