MUSCAT: Wadi Tiwi, located in the Tiwi district of wilayat of Sur of South Al Sharqiyah Governorate, is one of the most important tourist destinations on the tourism map in the Sultanate.
Most tourism companies put the wadi, which is only 140km away from Muscat Governorate, on all their tourism programmes and packages for the region.
During the winter, the wadi has a huge influx of tourists. Many tourists during their visit to the Sultanate ask about it due to its extraordinary attractions.
The wadi is 36km long near a mountain village known as Mibam, which is popular for its fertile landscape.
The wadi passes by many agricultural villages, which grow palms and bananas overlooking scenic and majestic mountains and offer a picturesque view of the area.
Influx of tourists
Said bin Yousef Al Magini, a tourist guide, said that there is a huge turnout of tourists in the wadi during winter. This is because of its prominent pristine natural places, which have preserved their aesthetics and heritage.
These include the mountains, which stand strongly near the green oasis, good for human recreation, in addition to the flowing of fresh and glittering water in the wadi, against the background of the blue water of the nearby sea. With this, the entire area is a unique tourist destination and a living example of the rich geography of Oman.
Multiple options
Wandering in the vast expanses of the wadi, tourist guide Al Magini, who works for Nour Majan Tourist Company, stopped to invite visitors to have lunch on the shores.
He said that the best way to enjoy nature is to walk between all its features and components and enjoy its climate, which is moderate. This is despite the fact that the area has roads paved for all types of cars to reach the wadi.
But it is always preferable to walk and enjoy nature and the breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains where you can see the wadi flowing below. If one has to explore the hidden beauty of the wadi, he or she has to walk. This is the only and most preferred way to enjoy it. It offers a unique, memorable tourism experience to visitors.
Investment
Speaking about the possibilities and investment opportunities offered by Wadi Shaab, Al-Magini said that there were promising investment opportunities in Wadi Tiwi.
Investors can get the benefit of the existing farms and recreational facilities, which existed in the surroundings.
The entire length of the wadi needs guest houses, which match its pristine nature.
