21 Tourism in Oman. In the year 2004 over 4 million people from different countries visited Oman. Oman has so many tourist attractions,for example: wadi shab,wahiba and the jabrin castle. The Wadi is 76 Km from Qurayyat Muscat. The road to the wadi dips as it crosses the bed of the ravine and rises steeply on the other side where the houses of Tiwi cling to the cliffs. At the mouth of the wadi is a single beach dotted with fishing boats. Wadi Shab Wahiba 21
22 Water flows all year round. The wadi runs through a narrow gorge with date plantations, restful pools and lush vegetation. Oleander bushes attract butterflies and the singing of the birds is delightful. Half of the numbers of tourist that visit Oman comes to this place 22
