Day Tours From Muscat

One of our most thrilling day experiences is to Wadi Shab and the Bimmah Sink Hole. Wadi Shab is the most popular wadi in Oman, located little under two hours from Muscat and one hour from Sur. Wadi Shab features a short climb followed by a refreshing swim through a keyhole to a stunning waterfall.

Muscat Day Trips

We depart Oman Day Tours from Muscat and travel to Quriyat, then along the coast to Sur. The Bimmah sinkhole is our first visit; here you may bathe in the pristine turquoise waters while having little Red garra, sometimes known as “doctor fish,” nibble away at all the unpleasant pieces. Not for the Ticklish, of course! We’ll then drive a bit further down the coast to Wadi Shab, where our short hike will begin.

Oman Day Trip

The Swimming Pools are about an hour’s walk away, so bring some good hiking shoes, preferably two pairs, one for walking and the other for swimming, as well as a waterproof camera or GoPro if possible. We’ll bring plenty of water for you and the guide to drink while hiking.

Day Tours From Muscat

Day Tour No.1

BIMMAH SINK HOLE & WADI SHAB

Our tour to Wadi Shab and Bimmah Sink Hole is no doubt one of our most exciting day tours. Wadi Shab is the most popular wadi in Oman just under 2 hours drive from the capital Muscat and 1 hour from the town of Sur. Wadi Shab includes a short hike and then a lovely swim in clear fresh water. The highlight is to swim through the keyhole into a cave where there is a beautiful water fall.

Departing from Muscat we drive towards Quriyat and then along the coast towards Sur. Our first stop is at the Bimmah sinkhole, here you bath in the clear turquoise waters and have little Red garra otherwise known as “doctor fish” eat away at all those nasty bits. Not for the Ticklish!  We then drive a little further down the coast to Wadi Shab where we will begin the short hike.

It is about an hour’s walk to the Swimming Pools so be sure to have some shoes that you can use for both walking and swimming. We will provide plenty of water for you and the guide to take on the hike.

Day Tour No.2

BIMMAH SINK HOLE & WADI TIWI

Wadi Tiwi is just a bit further along the coast from Wadi Shab. It to, is a  beautiful Wadi with a spectacular Waterfall. We are often asked which one do you recommend?  They are very different, so if you have two days do them both, for sure. Of course if you  do both tours we would only take you to see the Bimmah sink hole once, so we would include the Wadi Dayqah Dam instead. 

If you really are forced to choose one, note that unless you are fit an agile you will struggle to get down the cliff face to be able to swim in the Waterfall at Wadi Tiwi. It is also a bit of a hike down from the car parking area through the plantations and the Falajs to the view of the waterfall.

More driving is required to drive  the twisting winding road along Wadi Tiwi to the village of Midham and you can expect to have to reverse the car  on a number of  times

It is fair to say that Wadi Tiwi is less “Touristy “

Day Tour No.3

WAHIBA SANDS & WADI BANI KHALID

This is one of our most popular Tours. And fortunately the driving time has now been considerably reduced after  two tunnels where built  through the mountains. We drive from Muscat along the new highway to Ibra. just after Ibra we can see the Wahiba sands. These sands stretch all the way from the foot hills of the Eastern Hajar mountains to ththe Indian Ocean.

You will enjoy a thrilling drive through the dunes to visit a Bedouin family and an optional Camel ride. 

Next we travel to one of Oman’s most popular and scenic spots Wadi Bani Khalid. A swim in the beautiful rock pools is a must so bring a towel and swimming gear but please swim in shorts and a T shirt.

Day Tour No.4

NIZWA & JEBEL SHAMS + THE GRAND CANYON

We drive from Muscat to Nizwa through the Sumail gap, this is the main pass through the Hajar Mountains linking the coast with the Interior. On your return journey through here with the sun dipping lower in the sky the lighting effects of the mountains and the date plantations are very dramatic.

Not so long ago,  Oman was in effect two countries.  And the capital of the Interior at that time was  Nizwa it was ruled over by an Imam. We first visit Nizwa fort with its great circular tower. It was built during the mid 17th century by Imam bin Saif Al Yarubi. We will then  check out the Nizwa souk and perhaps purchase a souvenir. A must see is the Date market you can taste the many various types.  Choose your favourite and perhaps purchase a few for the journey.

From Nizwa we drive to  the highest mountain in Oman Jebel Shams (The Mountain of the Sun).The views from the top of the Jebel are magnificent, Anyone for Base Jumping?

Day Tour No.5

WADI DAYQAH DAM & WADI ARBIYYINN & BIMMAH SINK HOLE

From Muscat it is about 1 1/2 hour drive  to Wadi Dayqah. A few years ago a very impressive dam was built to provide fresh water for the local community and beyond. It is possible to rent klayaks and paddle boats. (Not included in theprice of the Tour)

From Wadi Dayqah we drive through some beautiful date plantations and along a geological wonderland to Wadi Arbeieen  The large rock pool and the waterfall are magnificent. It is great fun to jump off the rocks and swim as far as you can against the current of the waterfall.

After a swim and a picnic lunch we drive back along the wadi and then drive towards the coast to emerge at Dibah and then we drive a short distance along the coast to visit the Bimmah Sinkhole where we can have another swim if one still has the energy and then its back to Muscat.

Day Tour No.6

NAKHAL & WUKAN & WADI HOQAIN & HAZM CASTLE

This tour includes a visit to Wukan which I think is the prettiest village in Oman, two of its most impressive forts and a beautiful wadi with water running year round.

We first stop at Nakal to visit the impressive fort and to admire the views of Date plantations from the castle walls We then visit the hot springs where if it is not to crowded it is possible to bathe

From Nakal we drive towards Rustaq and turn off to drive through Wadi Mistal and into the Ghubra Bowl. This is a bit barren but is surrounded by imposing Jebels on all sides. As we start the climb up the Jebel the majestic Village of Wukan can be seen clinging to the rock face. As we get closer it just gets more beautiful this probably is the most picturesque village in Oman. After a very steep ascent, we park and then walk up through pretty gardens with fruit trees, almonds, pomegranates, apricots, and dates. Beside the path is a Falaj with flowing water and many pools.

From Wukan we drive back and towards Rustag and then on to the beautiful Wadi al Hoqain. 

After lunch we drive to Al Hazm castle this is by far my favorite fort/castle in Oman it is beautifully restored has one of the best collection of canons in the world.
