Hike your way through narrow canyons leading to crystal clear pools and hidden waterfalls at Wadi Shab. Framed within a barren sandstone ravine, this lush oasis features lower pools that provide a source of drinking water, while the higher ones remains popular with swimmers and those seeking pristine scenery. Meander along a sloping trail lined with banana palms, making your way past village ruins and plantations to shimmering pools and a cavernous waterfall. Restrooms are located at the base of the valley. Avoid hiking in the midday heat.

Very beautiful canyon. Easy access ... the canyon entrance is near the road and can be reached with a very short boat ride. Near the road is a small kiosk. At the end of the canyon you have the possibility to swim further into the canyon and enter a cave with a waterfall through a crevice.
