A natural valley in the wilayat of Taqah in Dhofar, about seven kilometres east of Taqah, winding between hills and plateaus until it drains into Khor Rori on the Arabian Sea. It is a natural park of waterfalls, lakes, caves and green meadows. In the khareef season the water pouring down from the mountains turns into waterfalls tumbling tens of metres, the best known a seasonal fall about a hundred metres high that runs only after heavy rain. Along its course, limestone deposits have built terraces for the water to spill over and huge travertine curtains. The wadi is thick with vegetation, old sidr and wild fig trees, with a natural spring and several caves, and camels graze its meadows. Small boats and kayaks can be hired on its lake to paddle among the trees. Entry is free; boats are charged. The best time is from July to the end of September, when the valley turns green and the waterfall runs, with big crowds in the khareef holidays. Fog can settle on the road, so drive carefully.
