Wadi Tiwi
Wadi Tiwi
When you explore Oman from the coastal roads you will continually encounter a typical natural attraction of the country. So-called wadis stretch along the coastal strip. Wadis are dry riverbeds that flow into the sea. These valleys are home to a unique flora and fauna and resemble dreamy oases. Wadi Tiwi is located just 3 km from the town of the same name. Wadi Tiwi is densely vegetated and its mountain formations contrast fascinatingly with the vegetation. Over a distance of about 10 kilometers, you can explore this palm-rich wadi from above and enjoy a great view of its shape. Several small villages have now settled in Wadi Tiwi, lining the stony path. In addition to palms and bushes, banana plants, mango and fig trees thrive here, among whose branches small birds and butterflies frolic.
