Wadi Arabeen is only 1 hr and 45 minutes from Muscat, yet it's one of Oman's best wadis, it's secluded, raw, teeming with wildlife, and one of the country's most beautiful spots to visit. The hike to the waterfalls is a hidden gem that is extremely rewarding after the 3-4 hours trek (one way).
This was our second trip to Wadi Arbaeen, watch the video here
• Wadi Arbaeen - One of...
Here is some relevant information for this trip.
- Muscat to Wadi Arabeen parking spot: 1hr 45 minutes , turn right from the parking spot, follow the falaj on the right, and continue along the wadi
- After about 45 minutes to an hour into the trek you will start to get the bigger pools of water, enjoy this section as The walk becomes a little more difficult after around 4 or 5 larger pools, with fewer water and pools of water, as well as rougher and larger boulders to climb over. There are trekking stone signs that will point you in the right path to the waterfalls.
- Approx. time, 1 way trip to the waterfalls 2.5 - 3 hours ( for the fit and at a fast pace) or
Approx. 3.5 to 4 with a moderate pace. ( Round trip 5 - 8 hours)
- Take plenty of drinking water you will need loads of it. I did suffer with heat exhaustion as I did not drink water regularly.
- The trek to the waterfalls is not advisable for kids and the unexperienced ( the kids can enjoy the many pools upto around 1.5 to 2 hours into the trek, where you will get to enjoy the 4 to
5 bigger pools of water).
- In comparison to the other notable wadis, this wadi is quite lonely and remote, so travel with a larger group.
-Being more remote means you'll see a lot more wildlife; we saw at least three snakes ( Wadi Racers, these are harmless snakes).
- After the tiring 3-4 hour trek, the Waterfalls are the most satisfying experience.
