White Wadi Canyoning - Oman

Date: 4th and 5th of May
A wadi that has a lot to offer. Wadi Damm is remarkable for its characteristic rocky formation sculpted by erusion. The variety of water pool sizes combined with trekking and scrambling leads into a little slice of paradise where a vroad carpet of moss and grass forms a curtain droping down into an emerald pool forming a waterfall. Along the paradise, Wadi Damm is the home of ancioent beehive tombs dated third milliniom BC which is featured in UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites.

The wadi is not technical. However, a decent amount of fitness level is required. Wadi Damm is around 5 to 6 our round trip depending on group pace. This trip is not for beginners who have not hikes before. This requires being comfortable outdoors and challenging your self scrambling and bouldering through the wadi.
