The Wadi itself is a beautiful canyon oasis. The guide did not accompany us on the hike itself – he left us and arranged a pick up time. This worked out well for us – it was impossible to get lost and it was nice to explore and take our time.
Beautiful scenery of Wadi Shab
Nestled in amongst palm trees is a little river, and the path follows this through the canyon. We had to jump over a couple of streams – all the while swearing because we hadn’t brought our sports sandals. The views were fabulous, and finally the path stopped and we could only continue by swimming down a channel. Apparently there was a cave at the end. We felt a little uneasy about swimming, though – there were several Omani men gathered at the drop-in spot to the river, chatting and not doing much of anything. Stripping down to our bikini and trunks didn’t seem like a great option – and besides, we didn’t have sport sandals, and the way was pretty rough.
On the way back, we stopped for lunch alongside the ocean.
