Wadi Shab Emerald Pools & Submerged Cave Waterfall
Beginning with a quick wooden boat ferry across the rivermouth in Tiwi, the 45-minute trek winds through sheer limestone gorge cliffs and babbling streams. Swimmers plunge through a chain of three refreshing emerald pools, culminating in a narrow keyhole crevice leading inside an enclosed sunlit cave sheltering a hidden waterfall.
“A spectacular canyon hike crossing date palm groves to reach crystal turquoise pools and a secret cavern with an interior waterfall.”
