Our favourite short escape for couples and friends who like to sleep close to nature. We leave Muscat after lunch and head to Wadi Mibam, a quiet wadi of palm gardens and natural pools where you swim and wander for three hours. As the light softens we set up camp on the white sand of Fins beach; your guide lights the barbecue and dinner is served under the stars, followed by a night in a tent for two beside the sea. After a sunrise breakfast we walk into Wadi Shab, cross by boat, hike past plantations and swim to the hidden waterfall cave, then lunch on fresh fish at a local restaurant in Tiwi and finish with a dip in the Bimmah Sinkhole on the way home.
