About the Wadi Shab tour

Wadi Shab begins with a short boat ride across the water, then a walk up a narrow canyon between cliffs and palms to a chain of turquoise pools.

Confident swimmers can swim through the pools to a cave with a waterfall inside. On the way, stop at the Bimmah Sinkhole, a vivid blue pool in a limestone crater.
