Wadi Shab is not just a place — it’s a feeling. A hidden paradise where turquoise water meets wild nature. The hike takes around 45 minutes and includes walking through rocky paths and shallow water.…Full review by Gamze G

I don't often write reviews but Wadi Shab and Wadi Tiwi are worth writing about. They are utterly spectacular. I chose to do the tour with Oman_Raw_Explorer and Abdullah (owner and guide) is one of…Full review by JustDobson

Another wadi with constantly flowing water – actually on the other side of the mountain from Wadi Bani Khalid. This is a much longer hike of about 3 km over uneven terrain with along some ledges – m…Full review by BobN06
We are planning to visit in october with 9 years old and 4 years old. Do you think that it is alright to try with 2 children.

Yes, easily. The "hike" itself is not very difficult. There will be spots where it may be slippery, but overall a child could do it. It is 45 minutes walking for an adult to the waterholes, however, so it's more about how long your kids are happy to walk for. There are no facilities at the waterhole either. When i visited there were people with kids under 10.
I am planning this tour on June 7 or 8 Is there anyone who would like to share this trip?
A:
It’s a wonderful place, I been there in February during the nice weather, I don’t know how’s it will be in June, You will definitely enjoy the pure nature.
Hey there Does anyone know if the boat shuttle is running today. It's Friday and it's Ramadan. Not sure why, but I'm hearing that the boats are off!?

Sorry I have no idea but last resort, you can cross the river by foot if the water isn't too high. Be careful though. I've seen a group of 4 students doing it. They walked towards the end of the quay and crossed from there. They were maybe 1m75, 85 high and had water up to their upper waist. They had to carry their bags on their head to avoid for them to be wet though. As I say, last resort if there's no boat. However Ramadan doesn't mean people don't or can't work so the boat should be there.
I am trying to remember if I have been here last year...because I was not able to walk the trail...I remember a cliff on the right side of the river that one can walk under. But there were huge rocks to climb over and it looked dangerous, on the way further...Also, there was a place I was supposed to cross over the river, by walking on stones. I stopped there because I was afraid. Is this the way to Wadi Shab?
A:
Correct, it sounds to me like the path to go to the wadi. There were arrows drawn to follow the way, and sometimes you might feel like you were done. When we went (March) weather …
Correct, it sounds to me like the path to go to the wadi. There were arrows drawn to follow the way, and sometimes you might feel like you were done. When we went (March) weather was fantastic, may be that helped to go through all those rocks. It was worthy though.
