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

Free Parking Area
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.
Me.. yelling at Jimson to be quick while his taking pictures
Wooohooo!! and he's so excited.
I guess we are near since we saw flowing waterssss..
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.
kids can enjoy at low tide wadi
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!


Drove towards to our next location, Bimmah Sinkhole was perfectly placed from where it is, surrounded with stunning sea view and mountain view on the other side. Bimmah Sinkhole was formed by a collapse surface layer due to dissolution of underlying limestone, a deep hole filled with fresh turquoise water.
Hawaiyat Najm Park
Jimson and I wasn’t sure if we reach bimmah sinkhole at the right place, and wonder why were we at the entrance gate of the Park? So with the help of Omani local, the direction was to enter the Hawaiyat Najm Park, walk further and you’ll reach the huge sinkhole. The Omani officials did a great job to preserve the Sinkhole, they have set up the park with gazebos, palm trees, and picnic ground area. The huge sinkhole walled round the edge and set a manageable steps all the way to the bottom.
Tadaaa.. Hello from Bimmah Sinkhole
People can swim in Bimmah Sinkhole and yes we did of course! The water is cool and clean.
There are many small fishes the ones who like to nibble your skin like in the spas.
Entrance Fee: doesn’t cost you anything! yes, absolutely FREE for everyone and hope you can visit this place.
