Wadi Shab and sinkhole - This is a great day out. Ahmed was a great guide. The sights themselves were amazing. Wadi Shab is spectacular. It starts with a 45 min walk then you need to swim to get to the final point so prepare for this- shoes you can walk over rocks in and swim in, a waterproof cover for your phone so you can take pictures on the way. The sink hole is an interesting geological feature, also available for swimming but you can still see it if you don't swim. Lunch was delicious- a combination of rice and various meats. The drive there and back goes through the Omani countryside, which is stunning - desert, mountains and dust as far as you can see. Definitely recommend this trip.

I highly recommend this tour - I had an amazing experience on the tour in Oman, and I can't say enough good things about our guide, Mohammed. He was incredibly flexible and accommodating to our requests, always adjusting the schedule to make sure we were comfortable and satisfied. His positive attitude and constant smile made the whole trip even more enjoyable. He was a very customer-oriented guide, truly putting our needs first throughout the tour. He was also great company, chatting with us during the long drives, which made the journey pass by quickly and without a dull moment. We also had the chance to try some delicious Omani and Yemeni food, thanks to his recommendation. The restaurant he took us to was fantastic! One of the highlights was when we spotted camels on the side of the road – he kindly stopped so we could take photos and enjoy the moment. The landscapes in Wadi Shab were absolutely stunning, and swimming in the Bimmah Sinkhole was incredibly refreshing. It was a perfect way to end the day. Overall, he was an excellent guide, and I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Oman!

Best highlight of my Oman trip! - This day trip is undoubtedly the best highlight of my whole trip in Oman. I had such a fun time and felt super safe. I booked a private trip with Web Tours and did not regret at all. The hike was great and since it was just me we were able to go at a steady pace and enjoy more time in the water. Hamza (the guide) is super kind and was very well prepared and knows the wadi by heart. As a female solo traveler I felt super safe and very well cared for. Thank you for everything Hamza, Ahmed and Web Tours team!

Stunning views, family-friendly guide - This day trip was the highlight of our family vacation to Oman, and I'd absolutely recommend including it in travel to the country. Yousef was a great guide -- friendly and full of knowledge about the area. Most importantly, he was very patient and skilled at helping our 5-year-old son navigate the more challenging parts of the hike (even taking his hand and walking with him almost the entire way back, which earned him a special place in my son's heart--he still keeps talking about him after we returned home!). The scenery on this hike is absolutely breathtaking. We also enjoyed the unique Bimmah Sinkhole, though were too tired after the hike to spend too much time there. Don't miss out on this tour!

Fantastic Wadi Shab Tour - Yousef is a friendly and very knowledgeable and capable guide. The scenery is ruggedly beautiful, and the swimming along the way is wonderfully refreshing. The water is beautiful and is exactly the right temperature. Yousef is focused on making the experience meaningful for participants of any age and ability; however, you should be able to participate in a hike of moderate difficulty in order to enjoy this experience to its full extent. I recommend this activity without any reservation.

Amazing Excursion with a Phenomenal Guide - Wadi Shab was an amazing experience — unparalleled by any excursion we’ve done before — and Yousef was a fantastic guide. Our group included my two children (ages 5 & 8), me and my husband, and my parents. Yousef was so patient, kind and helpful with my children, and they had a great time! He did a great job preparing us ahead of time and guiding us through the tricky parts of the trail, and through the swimming portions of the wadi. Wadi Shab really is a must-see while you’re in Oman! I would not want to do it without a guide, and Yousef was truly the best (he was also so kind in helping other hikers who had run out of water or were struggling on more difficult parts of the trail). Good water shoes (wear socks), hats and plenty of water are essential. We wore our swimming our swimming gear (rash guards and quick drying swim trunks / capris) and just air dried on the trail back.

A must see! 10/10 - We had an exceptional day and our guide (Hamza) was so helpful and informative. The walk requires some physical endurance but Hamza allowed us to take breaks and constantly supported us through uneven terrain.

An Oasis for Thirsty Eyes of Beauties - Incredible experience, magical place, unthinkable that Oasis in the middle of the desert, really worth living that experience. I want to make a special mention for who today was our guide Hanza, who with kindness, vocation of service, humility and above all things knowledgeable of the place made the magical transform into WONDERFUL. An incredible experience, a magical place, an unimaginable oasis in the middle of the desert. It's truly worth experiencing. I want to make a special mention of our guide today, Hanza, who with kindness, a dedication to service, humility, and, above all, his knowledge of the place, transformed what was magical into something WONDERFUL.
