Another wadi with constantly flowing water – actually on the other side of the mountain from Wadi Bani Khalid. This is a much longer hike of about 3 km over uneven terrain with along some ledges – m…Full review by BobN06

Wow, what a place. Unfortunately, I couldn't see this place completely as I do not know how to swim but whatever I saw was just mesmerizing. The walking trail itself will give you a different feel. I…Full review by ravindrav48

We are planning to visit in october with 9 years old and 4 years old. Do you think that it is alright to try with 2 children.

Yes, easily. The "hike" itself is not very difficult. There will be spots where it may be slippery, but overall a child could do it. It is 45 minutes walking for an adult to the waterholes, however, so it's more about how long your kids are happy to walk for. There are no facilities at the waterhole either. When i visited there were people with kids under 10.
I am planning this tour on June 7 or 8 Is there anyone who would like to share this trip?
A:
It’s a wonderful place, I been there in February during the nice weather, I don’t know how’s it will be in June, You will definitely enjoy the pure nature.
Hey there Does anyone know if the boat shuttle is running today. It's Friday and it's Ramadan. Not sure why, but I'm hearing that the boats are off!?

Sorry I have no idea but last resort, you can cross the river by foot if the water isn't too high. Be careful though. I've seen a group of 4 students doing it. They walked towards the end of the quay and crossed from there. They were maybe 1m75, 85 high and had water up to their upper waist. They had to carry their bags on their head to avoid for them to be wet though. As I say, last resort if there's no boat. However Ramadan doesn't mean people don't or can't work so the boat should be there.
I am trying to remember if I have been here last year...because I was not able to walk the trail...I remember a cliff on the right side of the river that one can walk under. But there were huge rocks to climb over and it looked dangerous, on the way further...Also, there was a place I was supposed to cross over the river, by walking on stones. I stopped there because I was afraid. Is this the way to Wadi Shab?
A:
Yes, this sounds exactly the route we took. We had a local guide who took the lead, but it was a rocky and cliff sided terrain. The need for appropriate foot wear is critical. …
Yes, this sounds exactly the route we took. We had a local guide who took the lead, but it was a rocky and cliff sided terrain. The need for appropriate foot wear is critical. Stunning views and an amazing treat when you swim up the river to the end cave with waterfall. But you have to swim underwater or carefully slide through to get to the inner cave. Bon Voyage
