Go Wadi (Wadi Bani Khalid)

Go Wadi (Wadi Bani Khalid)

Located 203 kilometres (126 miles) from Muscat. Take the Bidbid – Sur Road in Al Sharqiyah South Governorate, which forks into a side road leading to wilayat Bani Khalid , then weaves up across the eastern AlHajar Mountains to Bida village deep in the mountains. There you can enjoy the spectacular views of the fertile valley with its spreading trees and abundant water that tumbles down as waterfalls in some areas to form natural pools of water. The road then cuts through the valley to reach Muqal town, well known for its cave. To explore this cave, you’ll have to exercise great caution as you may need to crawl or even scramble in some places. Here the gushing waters creates a loud rushing sound and collects in pools, only to dissipate and gather - once again – in small lakes which the villagers have used to fill three irrigation canals.
Highlights:
1. Clear blue water pools
2. High rise mountains,
3. Village
4. Explore Cave
5. Natural Fish Foot Massage

Wadi Bani Khalid has been developed with few bridges, seating areas, and a restaurant, but it doesn’t detract from its beauty. It also makes it one of the most convenient wadis to visit as you can buy food and drinks and use the toilets.
The first pool is the largest. The wadi does get busy, especially on weekends (Fridays and Saturdays in Oman), but on a Sunday afternoon it was easy to find a quiet spot on the rocks to ourselves.
Please note! Return time after the tour until 6:00 PM
