Fully-fledged Coastal Adventures and Travel Highlights In Wadi Shab

Oman- The Perfect Blend of Calmness and Serenity.    
The scented landmarks have the best hands in making jaw-dropping geographic beauty of Oman. Everyone visiting Oman, expects to see sand; but tourists are blown away by the wild juxtaposition of lush agricultural lands, sparkling white beachfronts and humbling peaks like the 3,000m (9,840ft) Jebel Shams. However, one not-to-be-missed highlights of a Muscat-Sur coastal road trip, is the Wadi Shab, an enormous wadi blessed with truly awe-inspiring views.

Wadi Shab- A Breathtaking Encounter to Explore The Uniqueness of Oman.
A visit to Wadi Shab (An Omani Wadi that remains dry except during the rainy season) on your Muscat-Sur coastal road trip is more than enough to dispel the preconceived notion one might have about Omani sights. If you’ve a perception of Oman is just another desert nation filled with sand dunes and a few grass species, then obviously you might be surprised by the warm aquamarine waters that awaits for you at Wadi Shab. Situated around forty kilometers southeast of Dibab, the Wadi Shab is a heavenly paradise. Just beyond the entrance of this wadi, you’ll come across stunning water pools, smoother cascading waterfalls, palm trees and even colorful kingfishers.

A Journey To Wadi Shab is Truly Awesome!!
Wadi Shab is probably the best thing I’ve experienced through Muscat coastal road trip packages. Around an hour and a half drive from the Muscat, then Wadi Shab is located in between the sea and the mountain. Unarguably, it’s one of the most scenic places in Muscat I’ve ever seen and is well worth a visit, if you’re ever in Oman.

Well, when you’ll reach near the Wadi, you’ll see a sign off the main road and right after that you’ll arrive underneath a bridge where cars are parked. From there, local people are waiting to transport visitors with their boats so that you can start your coastal adventure.  However, the wadi is rewarded with gorgeous, submarine pools filled with small frogs, fishes, rocky mountain ranges, waterfalls and caves. However, the pools are conveniently located throughout the trekking path, which can give you a perfect opportunity to jump in and unwind yourself. Even, you’ll find a great jumping point where you can safely jump into the deep, cool refreshing water of Wadi Shab. All you need to do is to choose the perfect Muscat coastal road trip packages to get the most out of Wadi Shab. 

Usually, the hike along the rocky mountains and magnificent pools takes almost 3 hours to complete (If you’re stopping for swims) and it’s highly recommended to bring water and necessary food with you as well as footwear because the rocks can easily get slippery. However, a trip to Wadi Shab is along the untouched nature at its best and for an additional bonus it’s free. As per my experience, it’s so beautiful, especially the colors and atmosphere are just breathtaking! Only I can say is Wadi Shab is a must visit!

For complete adventures on your holiday, I highly recommend to choose a Muscat-Sur coastal road trip with Smart Oman Tour and get exciting travel experiences of Wadi Shab.
