Wadi Mibam
A hidden waterfall above a mountain village so deep inside Wadi Tiwi that fewer than a hundred people reach it each year — yours with a local guide.

Al Sharqiyah
Above Mibam village, where the road becomes a path and the path becomes a rope-assisted scramble, a waterfall drops into a pool that sees fewer than a hundred visitors a year. The descent is steep enough to require care on wet rock, dramatic enough to make the effort feel earned, and positioned deep enough inside Wadi Tiwi that the silence at the bottom is complete.
The terraced farms of Mibam sit above the waterfall on a stone platform built by people who understood the mountain's drainage patterns and worked with them — date palms fed by channels predating the oldest map of this valley. Most travellers visit Wadi Shab and miss this entirely, which means the pool at Mibam remains genuinely undiscovered by Oman's coastal standards. Go with a local guide; the path down is not obvious.
A curated selection of moments from the Al Sharqiyah.
Enter Wadi Tiwi from the coastal highway near Tiwi, then follow the narrow wadi road inland toward Mibam village. The final road is steep, tight, and best handled with 4WD. From the village, the waterfall descent is steep and local guides are strongly recommended.
