Amazing Scenery and Tour - This was one of the coolest tours I've ever been on. The hike was not particularly difficult for me, but I quite enjoyed it. Our guide was knowledgeable and was able to show us all of the cool sites.

Wonderful! Would do over and over again! - My tour guide was Mahmood and he made this amazing tour that much more special. His love for his country and his job flow freely through the tour and the information he provides. He is able to modify the tour to fit each travelers' comfort and ability levels. The hike through Wadi Shab to the waterfalls feels other-worldly. It is just stunning! Book the tour, you won't regret it! If you get to choose your guide, Mahmood is the Man!

Do it you won’t be disappointed - Ok as a person that doesn’t float but can swim, throw on a life jacket for a few dollars and have an amazing experience. I recommend getting your own water proof cell case for photos so it’s better than what is sold there, cost effective but not great, bring water shoes or really good hiking water proof sandals or buy the cheap ones there. This experience is well worth it a long day but great guidance and care provided. Flips flops not a good idea you need to have some agility for this for sure, The sink hole was a little disappointing but refreshing after the hike out. Food and snacks were ample but if you want something that you love just buy it and being it along don’t forget a towel, highly recommend met like minded people on this tour enjoy

Adventure to Wadi Shab - I had a fantastic experience on the Wadi Shab and Bimmah Sinkhole tour. Our tour guide, Mahmood, was attentive and delivered excellent service, ensuring we had everything we needed. The hike to Wadi Shab is quite intense in the heat, but it’s worth it once you reach the beautiful pools. Highly recommended for those looking for an adventurous and rewarding day out!

Not an easy trekking in the heat but rewarding views of the waterfall in the end - It IS a fantastic experience in a beautiful landscape. Absolutely 5 Stars worth, amazing! BUT in May it's a demanding walk in the heat, you have to be fit! And please take the offer of the life jacket if you're not a good swimmer, no false pride. Makes it easier for the guide and the rest of the tour group. The last pool is deep and long, no possibilities to hold to the rocks at the side, they are too slippery.

Tour 3*, wadi shab 5* - Amazing place, we had the best time swimming through the wadi and jumping off rocks. So much fun and our group of people was great. I would just suggest you hire a car/ taxi and do it yourself. If you research before it would be easy enough to do.
Recommend packing water shoes, cap/ hat, top all for swimming as you’re exposed to the sun throughout swimming and walking. Very hot over 40 in June so I walked in a long sleeve top and shorts then swam in them as it’s a real pain/ dusty/ hot trying to change out there. Walking trainers/ boots are needed too as the 40min walk to the water is uneven and rocky so don’t wear flip flops!
3* was for the tour itself as it’s extremely overpriced for what’s offered. £80ish per person for a group tour of 10 people which only offered transport to wadi, lunch, sinkhole and back. The ‘guide’ was really just a driver. No information was given on anything about the places we went. No care was given to help people if they wanted to climb etc he just left you to it - some guidance would have been helpful as to what we could or couldn’t do. Lunch was pretty bad, simple meat, rice and pita bread plus a weird soup drink in a rough looking ‘restaurant’ so I’d bring your own food.
Water was provided throughout.
