The 6-passenger land cruiser climbed up the roller coaster track into the rugged limestone canyon. We traveled about three miles into Wadi Tiwi. The stunning wadi is surrounded by a maze of large boulders and date palms. Tiwi is unique because of its perennial flow, most wadis in Oman are dry though out the year. Tranquil pools were contrasted by swirling eddies, and the melodious white noise of hidden cascades beckoned us to explore this mystic waterway.
