Wadi Mibam: Fast-rising star amongst Oman’s wadis SHARE
It’s easy to miss Wadi Mibam. In fact, a lot of people still make the same mistake. After driving to Wadi Tiwi and reaching what seemed to be the end of the road that leads to a small village dotted with palms, many turn back disappointed that the pools are not even deep.
But Wadi Mibam is located more inwards into the heart of the Tiwi mountains, located at the far edge of Wadi Tiwi itself.
From the village in Tiwi that guards the entrance towards the mountains, the drive becomes even rougher and it is filled with different levels of thrill as the rough road cuts through other sleepy villages, barren mountains, rocky wadis and harrowing cliffs. From Wadi Tiwi, it’s still another 30 minutes drive forward covering a total of around 160 km from Muscat.

Located in the Sharqiyah Governorate, some three and a half hours away from Muscat, Wadi Tiwi is known for its beautiful landscape. According to Oman’s Ministry of Tourism, Wadi Tiwi features a “spectacularly deep and narrow gorge carved out of the mountains, running between towering cliffs right down to the sea, old traditional villages, surrounded by lush plantations of date and banana, and criss-crossed with a network of gurgling aflaj”.
“After around 5km you’ll reach the picturesque village of Harat Bidah, where the road narrows dramatically, squeezing its way between old houses and high stone walls. Past here the tarmac ends and a rough track climbs steeply for a further 5km up to the village of Mibam – a spectacular, if nerve-jangling, drive,” added the ministry.
