Wadi Arbaeen Trip

Wadi Al Arbaeen (وادي العربيين) also spelled Wadi Al Arab’een, Wadi Al Arabiyeen or Wadi Al Arabieen, is one of my favorite outdoors places in Oman and frankly… my favorite wadi. Wadi Al Arbaeen is not very accessible due to the lack of signage, and the stretch of off-road that you need to get through. However, you should definitely visit if you enjoy taking a dip in fresh water pools, which are in abundance here, and want to experience the serenity of walking through a wadi that feels very untouched. You almost get an eerie feeling wading through the wadi, especially further in. You should allow a minimum of 3 hours to explore Wadi Al Arbaeen, and much longer if you plan to really explore!

Although theIn Wadi Al Arbaeen:

As you are driving in you will notice another village and palm grooves ahead of you, and probably a few cars and maybe some families having picnic near the water fall there. You may want to spend some time here, but I recommend going deeper in the wadi since it is cleaner and more serene.

Park your car somewhere and get your bag and start your hike. You will see lots of water falls and rocks, which only get more magnificent the further you go in. You will have to go through lots of lakes and rocky areas, so be prepared to swim and climb a bit of rocks, which could be challenging especially if its really hot.

The best thing about Wadi Al Arbaeen for me (compared to Wadi Shab at least) is that the it feels more natural and un-touched, which is because less people visit it. So please don’t throw any rubbish while you are in the wadi and enjoy your time.

Wadi Arbaeen - How to get there - the easy route.

GOOGLE CLIP TO BE EDITED The easiest way to get to the Wadi is to continue on 17 until you get to Dibab, exit into the village, follow the road until you see the bridge over the wadi and drive up the wadi road. Have done it both ways and the signed one from the highway through the mountains roads has too many unmarked options to be reliable – unless you have it in your GPS already. Only went as far as the village at the end of the road, indeed a lovely spot with some swimming options and a nice waterfall or two.

Trip Highlights

  • Easy access from Rustaq and suitable for 4WD vehicles and drivers with basic skills
  • 4WD is essential and subject to weight low ratio maybe advantageous. Some bends on the winding track are among the steepest in Oman.
  • Not suitable for very large groups of vehicles due to lack of parking in the village of Yasab.
  • Without further evaluation, unsuitable for group camping.
  • Some driving sections are quite exposed. Not for the feignt hearted.

“My boyfriend and I just completed the Everest Base Camp Trek with The Trekker Company. Everything about this tour was amazing. It was well-organised and we always felt safe. The itinerary was perfect. We had a great group and a fabulous tour guide! He always made sure we were safe and comfortable. This was a once in a lifetime trip! Highly recommended.”

“We have been lucky enough to have Ayush lead us to Everest Base Camp. The trek was hard but so worth it. Ayush and the rest of the guides are highly skilled and they took care of everything - food, camp, logistics and most importantly our health and safety. We will never forget this experience and we’ll definitely be back.”
