Car
If you are traveling by car, start your journey in Al Buraymi city. Head northwest on the main road (Route 5) towards the border with the United Arab Emirates. Continue straight for approximately 10 kilometers until you reach the roundabout. At the roundabout, take the second exit onto Route 21, which will lead you towards Lakhayf. After about 5 kilometers, keep an eye out for the Unnamed Road on your right. Turn onto this road and follow it for about 2 kilometers until you reach the Hidden Pool. Look for parking spaces along the side of the road, as the area may not have formal parking facilities.
Public Transportation
For those using public transportation, take a local bus from Al Buraymi to Lakhayf. Buses may not run frequently, so check the schedule ahead of time. Once you arrive in Lakhayf, you will need to take a taxi to reach the Hidden Pool. Ensure you have the address ready (G7MQ+C5R, Unnamed Road) to show the driver. The taxi ride from Lakhayf to the Hidden Pool should take around 10-15 minutes, but confirm the fare with the driver before starting your journey to avoid misunderstandings.
Walking
If you're already close to the Hidden Pool, you can opt to walk. From the nearest bus stop or taxi drop-off point in Lakhayf, walk along the Unnamed Road. It is about a 20 to 30-minute walk, depending on your pace. Look for local signs or ask residents for further directions if needed. Be aware of the heat and carry water to stay hydrated, especially during the day.
