🏞️ What Makes Wadi Tiwi Special?

Wadi Tiwi, often called the “Wadi of Nine Villages,” is nestled within the Eastern Hajar Mountains. It stretches from the coastal village of Tiwi all the way inland, winding through terraced plantations, ancient falaj irrigation systems, and towering cliffs. Thanks to natural freshwater springs, the wadi stays green all year round—making it a true oasis in the heart of Oman.

You’ll pass through villages like Mibam, Seema, and Harat Bidah, where time seems to stand still. This is more than just a nature trip—it’s a journey through Omani heritage, where the landscapes are just as rich as the stories behind them.

Je suis profondément déçue par l'excursion Wadi Tiwi Adventure depuis Sur. Les attentes étaient élevées, mais l'expérience n'a pas du tout été à la hauteur de la description. Dès le départ, il y a eu des problèmes. Le guide est arrivé en retard et l'orientation à l'entrée de Wadi Tiwi était mal préparée, avec peu d'informations utiles fournies. Cela a donné une impression de désorganisation. Les instructions de sécurité étaient superficielles. Aucune attention particulière n’a été accordée aux conditions météorologiques ou aux risques potentiels du sentier. Cela m'a fait sentir mal à l'aise tout au long de la randonnée. La randonnée est annoncée comme étant de difficulté moyenne à difficile, mais elle est en réalité très difficile et nécessite une bonne condition physique. Ce n'est pas adapté à tous, et ce point n’a pas été clairement précisé avant la réservation. Le fait que la nourriture ne soit pas incluse est compréhensible, mais il aurait été utile d'avoir plus d'indications sur ce qu’il fallait apporter. De plus, les « spots pittoresques » pour le déjeuner étaient sales et peu accueillants. Les délais mentionnés dans l’itinéraire n’ont pas été respectés. Nous sommes revenus bien après l'heure prévue, ce qui a causé des désagréments pour la suite de ma journée. En résumé, cette aventure a été mal gérée et décevante. Je ne recommanderais pas cette excursion à d'autres voyageurs. Il est impératif que les organisateurs améliorent leur professionnalisme et prennent les préoccupations des participants au sérieux

I was really excited about the Wadi Tiwi Adventure, but unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to expectations. The trek was more difficult than I anticipated, and the guide didn’t seem to be very knowledgeable about the area. There were also too many people in the group, and it felt crowded, which took away from the experience. I was hoping for a more intimate and engaging adventure. Definitely not worth the money

While the views were stunning, the tour felt rushed. We barely had time to enjoy the natural pools because the guide was constantly pushing us to keep moving. Additionally, the lunch break was too short, and there wasn’t enough time to relax and take in the surroundings. I also felt like the communication from the company about the tour details could have been clearer. Overall, it was an okay experience, but I wouldn't recommend it

What an amazing adventure! The Wadi Tiwi trek was absolutely stunning. The scenery was breathtaking, especially when we reached the natural pools. Our guide was excellent – knowledgeable, friendly, and very engaging. He made sure we were safe and comfortable throughout the entire trek. The village stops were a highlight, giving us a glimpse into local life. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a challenging and beautiful adventure in Oman

I had an incredible time on the Wadi Tiwi Adventure! The entire experience was well-organized, and the guide was very knowledgeable about the area and its history. The natural pools were so peaceful, and I loved swimming in them after a tough hike. The trek itself was challenging but manageable, and the views were worth every step. I felt like I really got to experience the heart of Oman. This tour was definitely one of the highlights of my trip

The Wadi Tiwi Adventure was a decent trek, but it didn’t blow me away. The landscapes were beautiful, and the natural pools were refreshing, but the trek itself was challenging, especially in the heat. The guide was friendly but didn’t provide as much historical or cultural information as I expected. It was a good way to get outside and explore, but not as amazing as I thought it would be

I had a good time on the Wadi Tiwi Adventure, but there were a few things that could have been improved. The trek was challenging but enjoyable, and the landscapes were stunning. However, I found that the timing felt a bit rushed, especially during the lunch break. We didn’t have enough time to fully relax and appreciate the surroundings. The guide was friendly and informative, but I think there could have been more focus on the history and culture of the area. Overall, it was a solid experience, but not perfect

This was such an amazing adventure! The Wadi Tiwi trek was absolutely beautiful, with jaw-dropping views and some fantastic photo opportunities. Our guide was excellent and made the experience enjoyable and informative. The natural pools were a highlight, offering a refreshing swim after a hard hike. The only reason I didn’t give it a full 10/10 was because the lunch break could have been a little longer, and it would have been nice to have some snacks provided. Still, it was an unforgettable experience and totally worth it

I expected a lot from the Wadi Tiwi Adventure, but I left feeling underwhelmed. While the views were nice, the trek itself was a bit too challenging for me, and I didn’t feel like I had enough time to enjoy the natural pools or take a proper break. The guide was decent, but didn’t offer much beyond the basic details. For the price, I think the experience could have been better organized. It wasn’t a terrible trip, but it didn’t live up to my expectations
