Wadi Shab
Melhor época para visitar
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.
Dicas para economizar
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.

Sobre
Fatos rápidos: Escondido no fundo de um desfiladeiro rochoso, um caminho de água leva a uma caverna com um lago de cristal onde é possível nadar. Pelo caminho, será preciso escalar algumas pedras e atravessar várias piscinas naturais para chegar a esta maravilha da natureza.
Destaques: No fundo da caverna, quando os raios de sol penetram pela abertura no teto, a água acende-se num azul intenso, como se uma chama subaquática queimasse no seu interior. A temperatura da água permanece fresca mesmo nos dias mais quentes de verão, e as estalactites que pendem das rochas lembram uma catedral subterrânea.
Dicas de quem conhece
- 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.
