Bimmah Sinkhole and Wadi Al Arbyeen Tour
Freshwater pools, a legendary sinkhole, and pristine coastal sands — all in one day.
This full-day journey takes you deep into some of Oman's most remarkable natural landscapes, anchored by the Bimmah Sinkhole and Wadi Al Arbyeen tour, a route that combines off-road wadi exploration with coastal scenery and authentic Omani culture.
Wadi Al Arbyeen is one of those places that rewards visitors who make the effort to find it. Limited signage and a stretch of unpaved road keep the crowds away, leaving the wadi's freshwater pools and narrow canyon passages largely unspoiled. Walking further into the wadi, a quiet stillness surrounds you that few destinations in the region can match.
After the wadi, the route continues to the Bimmah Sinkhole, a natural geological wonder filled with turquoise water and open for swimming. The nearby Fins Beach stretches along the coastline with fine white sand, offering a contrasting but equally memorable landscape before heading inland again.
The day wraps up with photo stops at the entrances of Wadi Shab and Wadi Tiwi, two of the most visually striking wadis in the Ash Sharqiyah region. A lunch break at a local Omani restaurant near Wadi Shab provides a taste of regional cuisine before the return drive to Muscat.
Tour Highlights
Swim and relax in the natural freshwater pools of Wadi Al Arbyeen, tucked away along an off-road route that preserves its untouched character.
Descend to the turquoise waters of the Bimmah Sinkhole, a geological marvel formed over thousands of years and one of Oman's most iconic natural sites.
Walk the long white shoreline of Fins Beach, a stretch of fine coastal sand that sees far fewer visitors than the country's more popular beaches.
Capture striking photographs at the mouth of Wadi Shab and Wadi Tiwi, two of southern Oman's most scenic and photogenic canyon entrances.
Enjoy a sit-down lunch at a local Omani restaurant near Wadi Shab, sampling traditional dishes in a relaxed, authentic setting.
Travel off the main highway to reach Wadi Al Arbyeen, accessing a landscape that most visitors never see due to the absence of clear road markings.
Itinerary
The tour departs from Muscat and heads southeast along the coastal highway toward the Ash Sharqiyah region. The drive passes through dramatic limestone mountains and coastal plains.
Arriving at Wadi Al Arbyeen via an off-road track, guests can wade through the wadi's freshwater channels and swim in its natural pools. The canyon grows quieter and more atmospheric the further you walk in.
The Bimmah Sinkhole offers a chance to swim in its clear, mineral-rich lake. From there, the nearby Fins Beach provides a long, open stretch of white sand ideal for a short walk or simply taking in the view.
A stop at the entrance of Wadi Shab allows for photos of the canyon and the turquoise river below. Lunch is taken at a nearby local Omani restaurant, with traditional dishes on offer.
The final natural stop is the entrance to Wadi Tiwi, where terraced date palms and a winding canyon create one of the most photographed scenes along this stretch of coast.
The group boards the vehicle for the drive back to Muscat, arriving in the early evening after a full day across Oman's eastern coastline and interior wadis.
