Bimmah Sinkhole

Beautiful but busy place. Well kept gardens with a large sinkhole at its centre. Lots of tourists at peak times as all the local tour companies come here. It’s worth a visit if you’re passing by or visiting other local attractions like Wadi Shab. Parking is free and there is access to very basic toilets.

Bimmah Sinkhole is pretty much what it sounds like, a big hole in the ground filled with water. The surroundings aren’t much to look at, just a fenced area with a few trees and bushes trying to pass as a park. The water is lovely, warm, clear and great for a swim. Just be ready for tiny fish that like to nibble at you. It’s harmless but the first time it happens you’ll definitely notice. Worth a stop if you’re nearby and fancy a quick dip.

If you visit after viewing videos on Instagram, you might miss the true beauty in person. Still, there are sights that are worth experiencing at least once. It's a natural marvel. The crystal-clear water provides a refreshing atmosphere. If you can swim, you can enjoy the water there. However, the bathroom facilities are not well-kept.

We were there during Ramadan and the place was quite empty. Parking is free, entry is free. The water seemed very deep with no life guards around. No one was swimming; most people were just soaking their feet in the shallow water. There are small fish in the water that will nibble at your feet; it is quite relaxing. Again, I wouldn’t recommend swimming. But good for a quick stop and a free foot massage

This is quite a popular place with tourists. Quite a few people like swimming inside the sinkhole itself. If you go quite early you might get the place to yourself and it can be quiet, relaxing just to look at the sinkhole and appreciate how epic it looks. The colors of the water and the cliffs just contrast. So amazingly like many different spots in Oman.

This place is a natural pool and good to spend some swimming time. You can relax or swim as well. It's deep at the end. Not recommended for elders since it has steep steps. No Food or water available anywhere nearby. Pack everything before going and there's a park(not much shade). There's a restroom.

It’s nature’s wonder 💭.. so I must give 5⭐️ And they maintained its surroundings very well.. spacious park for picnic for families but not recommending in peak summer 🥵

It is an overrated place :( Swimming is not recommended! The municipality has warning labels about the swimming. Need to be aware! Water was not clean enough and fish bites also another issue! If you are a tourist in Muscat and thinking to visit there, I recommend you to think twice since it is almost 2 hours drive. For parking area, you can enjoy the time there!
