Being one of the best wadis in Oman, at Wadi Al Qahfi, the water flows most of the year and is distinguished by its fresh quality.
The Wadi offers plenty of activities to its visitors to choose from and enjoy the best time there.
Location
Wadi Al Qahfi is located nearly 50 km (31 miles) from Wilayat Mahdah, Al Buraimi Governorate.
How to Get There
Head north from Muscat towards Sohar city. After about two hours, just after Saham and just before Al Qasabiyat, take a right turn and drive until the road meets the sea. Then continue heading north turning onto Route 7 towards Buraimi.
After about an hour, take the drift to Mahdah at the roundabout in Humaydah. Then drive through Wadi Sharm, a narrow valley with breathtaking views, this will take you straight to “Wadi Al Qahfi” in Al Fayy.
