Usually, when I have a long layover, I head into the city, but in the case of Oman, I wanted to try something different: I’d read about Wadi Shab—a unique oasis where you can swim in the gorge—in travelers’ accounts more than once. Plus, it solved the problem of showering after a night flight!
So, I spent the entire day in Oman exploring Wadi Shab and Bimmah sinkhole. I also did some research on the destination and discovered many interesting facts about Oman, which I’m happy to share with you in this short travel guide to the country.
