Wadi Shab
Wadi Shab
Not far from Wadi Tiwi, travelers who enjoy hiking can explore Wadi Shab. Particularly for sport and nature-loving tourists, a hike in Wadi Shab is interesting. The breathtaking rocks and dreamy waterfalls amidst a green and palm-fringed landscape impress every visitor.
After a twenty-minute hike and a distance of fifteen kilometers, you will reach snow-white cliffs that are threaded with crevices and caves. A turquoise stream supplies small settlements and orchards with fresh water and flows into fantastic waterfalls. After an hour on foot, you can relax in a pool of crystal-clear mountain water and enjoy a refreshing bath behind the hills. Behind the pool, there is a hidden cave that can be explored while swimming.
Wadi Shab belongs to a fishing village of the same name, which has now merged with the neighboring settlement of Tiwi. The Wadi Tiwi and Wadi Shab are popular excursion destinations that can be explored on a common route. The two wadis are located on the coast of Oman from Muscat to Sur in the Sharqiyah region. Both wadis were severely devastated by the cyclone that hit Oman in 2007. However, nature in the wadis has largely regenerated, and both valleys shine in their usual scenic beauty.

Oman Tourism
The Sultanate of Oman on the Arabian Peninsula is continuously developing its tourism in a sustainable way. The philosophy here is fundamentally different from that of the neighboring countries such as the United Arab Emirates. In Oman, there are few hotels, which are, however, of very high standard. The image is shaped by a few luxury hotels while simple hotels or guesthouses are rarely seen. A study by the World Economic Forum (published in April 2017) ranks Oman ninth in terms of tourism growth. The character of gentle tourism remains, as the hotels adapt to the traditional image of Oman a...
