Private Wadi Bani Awf & Snake Gorge Visit

A short hour and a half trip to Wadi Bani Awf, this Muscat excursion is one of the best trips you will ever make. Leaving in the morning, you get all day to enjoy the magnificent region that is famous for its breathtaking scenery.

Wadi Bani Awf is absolutely stunning with its pristine, crystal clear pool that ranges from two to six meters deep. The beauty will draw you in for a swim, while the diversity of the land will challenge you and add a flair of excitement to your exploration. Mother nature even added intriguing caverns as a variety to this already diverse experience. Each bend around the wadi will make you gasp in awe as you snap photos galore.

Snake Gorge offers a challenging hike that will take about six hours. It will leave you feeling confident and inspired. Snake Gorge lives up to its name with a serpentine impression created by the mountains 'snaking' throughout the wadi. It cuts naturally past spectacular waterfalls, over boulders, and around rocks. You will slide between caverns, hike around natural obstacles, and swim under caves. The entire day will leave you captivated and awe struck! You will work up an appetite in this exciting hike, so a delicious picnic lunch with soft drinks is included. Don't miss this opportunity, it is absolutely life changing!
