From Wadi Al-Shab to Wadi Tiwi: A Journey on Steep, Narrow Dirt Roads

11/1/2025

The journey from Wadi Al-Shab to Wadi Tiwi offered a mix of rugged landscapes and quiet mountain villages. The steep dirt road wound through dramatic cliffs, patches of greenery, and simple homes that felt frozen in time. The villages, often perched on cliffs or nestled in wadis, reflect a deep connection to the land, with families relying on agriculture and ancient falaj irrigation systems. Unlike other parts of Oman, the locals here seemed shy and somewhat unwelcoming, making us feel like intruders in their secluded world.
