Day 2: Turtles – Sur – Wadi Tiwi – Bimmah Sink Hole – Muscat
From the Turtle reserve, we drive back along the coast to Sur. Sur historically was a center of shipping trade to East Africa, and it is also famous for boat building. Dhows can still be seen being built in the traditional way, which has not changed for hundreds of years (Except for the engine, of course). We then drive to Wadi Tiwi. We drive along a very narrow, winding road until we reach the village of Mibam. From here, we walk down the date palms and down some steps to view the beautiful Waterfall. It is a very nice place to relax and have a swim.
After lunch, we drive back to Muscat via the Bimmah Sink Hole. The Sink Hole is a lovely place to swim and jump off the rocks or just dip your feet in for a fantastic free fish spa as it contains many "doctor fish."
