Wadi Hawer and Salmah Plateau

Experience a sunset drive through Wahiba Sands and spend the night at the Oriental Nights Rest House.  The next morning, after a warm breakfast the group will drive off to Wadi Hawer, and begin their epic adventure.

This impressive raw wadi is less commercialized than its down stream counterpart, Wadi Bani Khalid and boasts running waterfalls, vast and vibrant blue freshwater pools. The total journey time is 4-5 hours over big boulders, swimming through large wadi pools and sliding down natural waterslides. This is considered easy to moderate but requires a good physical fitness level and endurance.
