WADI SHAB is a wadi in Oman that is located between the capital Muscat and the town of Sur, Sultanate of Oman. More precisely it lies in Niyabat Tiwi, Wilayat, a province of Sur, and is 26 km from Qurayyat. It is easy to reach this wadi from the new Qurayyat-Sur highway. The wadi combines the attractions of coastal areas and inland wonders. It has at least seven pools of emerald green water. One of the pools can be found in a cave where light streams in from above and there are fantastic echoes heard.
