OMAN: HIDDEN WATERFALLS AT WADI SHAB
Warned you this place is pure nature. Once you embarked on the trek restrooms and food/drink stalls are available only at the parking area.
Here's what you need to do:
- Arrive early to beat the heat and the crowds.
- Bring drinking water to avoid dehydration since the trekking will take about 40mins (depends how fast you are) and Food incase you get hungry after your swimming.
- Leave your valuable things inside the car just bring some clothes, towel and sun-screen.
- water proof camera (otherwise you won't get to take any picture inside the cave)
- Life jacket is needed for those who don't know how to swim

Parked your car and take a one minute boat ride to cross the creek (One Riyal round trip boat ride per pax and last boat to return is 6PM), then start to hike. The track starts with flat, sandy and pebbly it can get a bit slippery so wear good hiking shoes.

| But were wrong! walked furthermore and lots of visitor are now showing up |
Finally we arrived at the first stop! Did a 30mins rest and eat some snack we bought, look for a place where we can leave our backpack, though we've been informed by a local guy that nobody will touch our stuff. But you'd rather to keep always on the safe side, so don't bring your passport and lots of money here.

The views going to hidden waterfall at the cave are spectacular. A natural stream of beautiful, clean and clear turquoise water. The watery part of the trek starts shallow then becomes deep enough that you will need to swim (good swimming ability is needed). Keep swimming and you get to a cave that barely allows enough room to stick your head out of the water. ~wooo honestly I almost die here really its too deep.
Breathtaking 😱 cave well lit most of the part by natural day light and has a limestone ledge on either side so you can hold on to the sides as you cross. I won't spoil more photos 😜 to leave you wonder how gorgeous it is. Really worth the effort!

There is no doubt that UAE has a lot of tourist attractions but my favorite plce is Dubai. I love Dubai especially for the fun vibe which this city has. If you have never been to Dubai I would highly suggest you to apply for Dubai Visa soon and enjoy its vibe.
