What people are saying about Muscat

It is one of those things that is a must on your bucket list! Swimming in sync with nature on a beautiful sunny day, breathtaking! You need to experience it to understand it - no words enoough to describe it! I am still reliving the wonderful experience and moment every now and then in my life. I loved every minute of it swimming in between the rocks, places you'd never imagine to swim it was unbelievable.

Abdurahman was a great guide and the day was awesome, definitely my highlight of Oman. Just a tip though - being able to swim is quite important for this one. They do provide life jackets, but if you cannot steer and propel yourself in deep water then you will probably need a lot of help from your kind travel companions.

I just thought it was a shame that you couldn't go into the garden, resp. You had to pay more. It was also very full otherwise great.

Fantastic trip! The natural beauty of Wadi Shab is just incredible. It is a definite must see when in Oman.

Abdullah was a great tour guide who gave his max to make this an unforgettable experience. Thanks Abdullah!
