Wadi Shab - The journey then proceeds to Wadi Shab, a vast canyon gorge lined with palm trees, showcasing the impressive power of water descending from the mountains. After a 35-minute hike through the canyon, visitors reach one of several crystal-clear water pools. Tourists can swim through the warm waters from pool to pool, eventually reaching the last pool where an opening among the massive rocks allows entry into a breathtaking crevice cave with a small waterfall. Inside, sunlight filters in, turning the water a beautiful turquoise blue as water cascades down one side of the cave from the wadi beyond. After exploring Wadi Shab, the drive continues to the hotel in Ras Al Hadd.
