What travellers are saying
- WordWhisperer4youLondon, UK68 contributionsAs a non-muslim tourist, entry times are restricted, so check first - It's beautiful, extravagant, huge and offers the chance to understand a little more of the faith.Written 27 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MrMossBurnley, UK19 contributionsWe took the tour through here on our way to muttrah, staff were lovely and the building itself is unreal.Written 21 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Kimia Khaneghah31 contributionsThe Wadi is amazing. Its desert meets tropical climate meets fresh water meets mountains. Really nice temperature to swim in as well. Even in the summer months! What I don't see here is guidance that the water is actually quite deep. Reaching over 3 meters at some points so recommended that you are a decent swimmer.Written 5 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Y. A.16 contributionsbeautiful place. Rent a car before you go there - amazing colors for the water. Don't go during Eid season since it was very crowded, we couldn't swim in the water.
make sure to go early morning, we went around noon, and it was very hot.
Ladies should wear conservative clothes (not above the knee, and no spaghetti straps)
make sure to make a stop later to "Fins" beach, it's very close to the sinkhole.Written 16 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- FOL-1003Berlin, Germany1,730 contributionsliked it alot as its not so much into nation building like museum but more into real life

one floor full of stamp collections!Written 6 March 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

As an amateur photographer I found the combination of old and new worlds to be interesting subjects. My suggestion: travel light. My DSLR with a zoom lens was a great choice. The city center shots needed speed due to the motion of the bus. The choice of zoom lens made for easy and quick grab shots. As always watch for distracting reflections in bus windows. look ahead to be prepared for opportunities. Ps: we traveled here just before the pandemic hit.Written 26 October 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Nausher KariyadanMuscat, Oman127 contributionsThe Sifah beach is a great location for camping. The white beach is a treat for the eyes and a great location for an outing with family or friends. The beach is also suitable for a swim depending on the tidal variations. There are certain sections of the beach that are cordoned off for development activities.
