Day 1 Bimmah Sinkhole

The tour departs from Muscat in the morning towards Ras Al Hadd, our first stop Bimmah Sinkhole (swimming in the sinkhole lake is possible) Bimmah Sinkhole a water-filled depression, structurally a Sinkhole, in the limestone of eastern Muscat Governorate in Oman, a lake of turquoise waters, it's 50 m by 70 m wide and approximately 20 m deep, it's only about 600 m away from the sea, between the coastal towns of Dibab and Bimmah village, the Sinkhole was formed by a collapse of the surface layer due to the dissolution of the underlying limestone, to preserve the Sinkhole, the local municipality developed a park there.
Fins Beach
From Sinkhole, We’ll make a stop at Fins Beach or people call it white sands beach opens up a panorama of strikingly white sands and intriguingly pebbly beach, with sparkling turquoise waters and a soft cool breeze.
Wadi Shab
Then we drive towards Wadi Shab, this Wadi is an enormous canyon gorge that is lined with palm trees and impressive indications of what the power of the water coming down from the mountains can do in nature with a 35 to 40 minutes hike up through the canyon Wadi (walking shoes or trainer & swimming shoes are required), we arrive at one of the crystal clear water pools, tourists can swim through the warm waters from pool to pool, eventually, we come to the last pool where an opening among the enormous rocks allows us to swim into an incredible crevice cave with a small waterfall inside, the sunlight filters in from the outside, turning the water into a beautiful turquoise blue whilst water showers down one side of the cave from the Wadi beyond.

    We had a fantastic time immersing ourselves in the stunning landscapes and vibrant wildlife during our two-day adventure. While the accommodations were comfortable, we wished for a bit more time at the turtle-watching site, as it felt a bit rushed.

    Exploring the stunning Wadi Shab and witnessing turtle watching at Ras Al Hadd was a highlight for our family, offering a perfect blend of adventure and nature. Our accommodations were comfortable, but we felt the itinerary could have allowed more time to soak in the serene beauty of Oman’s landscapes.
