Wadi Bani Khalid*

Today is another wadi day - this time Wadi Bani Khalid! Wadi Bani Khalid is quite different to Wadi Shab, in that it's much easier to access (flat 5min walk from the car, rather than a boat and 45min hike), and the first pool is quite built up and is resembles an oasis. We didn't spend any time at the first pool, and instead walked the extra 15min to the 2nd pool, which is much smaller but quieter. The water was very turqiose and warm (almost bathlike) - just like Wadi Shab - and we spent a couple of hours swimming and exploring the canyon and caves. It was a great little swimming spot, except for the fish that nibbled on the dead skin on your feet.Read more
