Men swimming in the clear water Wadi As Shab - meaning gorge between the cliffs - is in the Ash Shrqiyah region in Oman, famous for his pools and for trekking. It is less than 2 hours drive from Muscat. It is a very popular outdoor attraction for both locals and expats (it gets very busy during week-ends and public holidays). You will walk along palm groves, rocky cliffs before reaching the main pool and a fter a leisurely 45 minutes you get to a point where you can swim up the wadi to enter a cave... Note that it is forbidden to swim in the lower pools as they are source of drinking water. Hajar mountains receive the majority of Oman’s sparse rainfall and over time the flow of water down them has carved out numerous gorges. A pool in Wadi As Shab
