Wadi Damm

Wadi Damm, Wadi Dhum or Wadi Dham, is located in the Al Dhahirah region, about 45 kilometres (28 miles) away from the city of Ibri. It is a seasonal wadi in the sense that water doesn’t continuously run through it throughout the year because it depends on rain. Wadi Damm is distinguished by its unique rocky formations, smooth rocks and water bonds that are scattered around its lands. This wadi offers a great place for picnicking, having a barbecue and camping.

Wadi Al Hawqayn

Wadi Al Hawqayn is another spectacular wadi in Oman that is about 150 kilometres (93 miles) away from Muscat. This wadi is distinguished by its beautiful year-round flowing waterfalls and water springs.

Wadi Tiwi

Wadi Tiwi is another wadi located in the Al Sharqiyah region in Oman, two kilometres (1.24 miles) away from Wadi Shab. Due to the fertility of the wadi’s soil, it is distinguished by numerous farms and plantations, which gives it a greener look and feel. Besides its crystal-clear waters and the amazing mountains that surround it, Wadi Tiwi has several plantations over its rocky cliffs and agricultural villages around its banks.

Wadi Darbat

Wadi Darbat is one of the most beautiful wadis in Dhofar in southern Oman and the most visited wadi in the region. Each year, during the Khareef (monsoon) season from July to September, the wadi’s water flows through hills and highlands and descends from mountains forming mind-blowing waterfalls that are 30 metres (100 feet) high. Wadi Darbat is one of the must-visit attractions in the region and is an absolute breathtaking escape for all nature lovers.
