Wadi Shab, Bimmah Sinkhole and Fins Beach: Private Day Trip from Muscat

Morning light slips over the Hajar Mountains as the coast road unfurls east of Muscat, cliffs falling to a bright Arabian Sea. Your guide steers toward Tiwi, where the canyon of Wadi Shab cuts inland—date palms lining a ribbon of water that refuses to stop, even in the dry. A short boat hop ferries you across the mouth of the wadi. The rock path ahead is honest about its intent: uneven, warm underfoot, and eager to slow you down so you actually look—at falaj channels carving past gardens, at swifts claiming the sky, at turquoise pockets that dare you to jump in.
