Description
Explore Al Sharqiyah Region in Oman, Visting Wadi Shaab and its Nature, Sinkhole& The ancient Coastal City Sur
Tour begin by pick up clients from Hotel then drive to the coastal road along the rugged coast, with mountains on one side and the ocean on the other. This is a nice drive and you will pass through small fishing villages. Along the coastline passing Fins and Bimah with many tiny coves tucked beneath the cliffs and stretches of white sandy beaches lapped by an incredible turquoise sea then guide will stop at Sinkhole known as Bait Al Afreet - "house of the demon" - with its clear green water. Concrete steps lead down the sides making swimming possible after that drive to wadi Wadi Shaab, which is an amazing oasis full of palms, mango and banana trees in the middle of rocky gorge. 40 minutes walk to reach the pools where we can swim and paddle to the hidden caves and waterfall.
Later Guide drive to Sur an ancient port and seafaring town which once played a major part in the trade between Oman, East Africa and India. It started its trading activities with the African coast as early as the 6th century. A walk through its labyrinth of streets reveals many fine old houses with carved doors and arabesque windows. The fishing dhows in the harbour make a splendid sight. Separated from Sur by the bay is the village of Al Ayja, well fortified by watchtowers and forts. On the sheltered lagoon is the traditional Dhow Building Yard - today, craftsmen still build dhows following traditional designs. After that drive back to muscat
