Wadi Shab e Bimmah Day Trip da Mascate
Oh man, Oman is still beautiful! This small country on the Arabian Peninsula is often overlooked by travelers, which is a shame. Oman has so much to offer and in our opinion, it's the perfect combination of outdoor adventure and luxury hotels in spectacular locations worthy of a sultan. Most travelers arrive in Muscat, the capital of Oman, and find a cosmopolitan city influenced by the millennia of Oman as a key trading post between Europe and Asia. But not far from the city are some of Oman's most magnificent places, which you can discover on a day trip to Wadi Shab.
While you can rent a car and drive the 140km of Wadi Shab on your own, we felt it was worth sitting and relaxing in the comfortable Memphis Tours SUV and letting our guide take care of the logistics. We immediately heard about Karak tea, Omani spiced milk tea made with cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, and ginger, and stopped at one of the many roadside tea shops that Omanis love to travel to. We probably would have considered the tea stalls nothing special and walked past them ourselves. We have been delighted with tales of legends, and the history of modern Oman since Qaboos bin Said al Said became Sultan in 1970 and we were given a lesson on how to order lunch like a local.
This is the true value of a good tour guide: getting that information you might not otherwise discover on your own. Our Memphis Tours guide took us out of the bustling capital on our full-day private guided tour with stops at Bimmah Sinkhole, one of Oman's most beautiful beaches, and the spring pools of Wadi Shab.
