Wadi Shab
Beste tid å besøke
The best time to arrive is early in the morning (around 8-9 a.m.), when the sun has not yet heated the rocks and the crowds are still small. During the season (October-April), the temperature is most pleasant for hiking.
Budsjettips
Entrance is free, but you need to pay for the boat across the stream (0.5 OMR, about 1.3 EUR) in cash. Google whether there is a free parking lot nearby, and have cash for small purchases.
Anbefalt for

Om
Raske fakta: Gjemt dypt i en steinete kløft fører en vannvei inn til en grotte med en krystallklar innsjø hvor man kan padle. Underveis må man klatre over flere steinblokker og svømme gjennom flere naturlige bassenger for å nå dette naturunderet.
Høydepunkter: Dypt inne i grotten, når solstrålene trenger gjennom åpningen i taket, lyser vannet klart blått, som om det brant en undervannsflamme inni. Vanntemperaturen holder seg kjølig selv på de varmeste sommerdagene, og stalaktittene som stikker ut fra fjellveggene minner om en underjordisk katedral.
Insidertips
- Do not forget water-resistant shoes or sandals, as most of the way you will have to wade through water.
- The hidden cave is about a 40-minute hike from the starting point, so bring snacks and water.
- Diving into the cave requires swimming skills, so if you are not confident in your abilities, limit yourself to swimming near the entrance.
- The best photos from inside the cave are taken around noon, when the sun shines directly through the opening in the ceiling.
