Wadi Shab is a wadi in Oman, located between the capital Muscat and the town of Sur, Sultanate of Oman. It lies in Niyabat Tiwi, wilayat which is a province of Sur, and is 26 km from Qurayyat. It is easy to reach this wadi from the Qurayyat-Sur highway. The wadi combines the attractions of coastal areas and inland mountain wonders. It has at least seven pools of emerald green water and is studded with dramatic boulders. One of the pools is in a cave where light streams in from above and fantastic echoes can be heard when one is swimming in it.
