Wadi Al Shab Oman

Wadi Al Shab Oman

“Wadi Al Shab” is located in Tiwi, part of Sur in Al Sharqiyah South Governorate. It is easily accessible from Muscat; it lies 140 kilometers from Muscat on the Qurayat – Sur Coastal Road. Fresh water cascading from tops of the mountains meet the briny sea water on its banks, creating an environmental diversity unique to this wadi, and making it stand on a pedestal of its own when compared with the other wadis in the Sultanate.
 
This wadi is definitely very popular and it gets very busy during public holidays with many families having a picnic at the entrance of the wadi, so best to avoid it during that time if you don’t like crowded wadis.
 
“Wadi Al Shab” is one of the most popular wadis in Oman. You can enjoy with hiking and swimming in the fresh water pools and the adventurous journey.  You can only meander through certain areas by boat, or take pleasure in a refreshing hike through this mountainous region or just to have a barbecue.
 
You don’t need a 4-wheel drive to get to the wadi as it just just off the Muscat to Sharqiyah highway and you get to it by passing through Tiwi village, you can just park your car and start your hike.
