Getting There
-
Car
If you are traveling by car, start your journey from the nearest town, Sur. Head southwest on Route 23 towards Tiwi, which is approximately a 30-minute drive. As you approach Tiwi, you will see signposts indicating Wadi Tiwi. Follow the signs and take a right turn onto the road leading into Wadi Tiwi. Continue on this road until you reach the entrance of the wadi, where you can park your vehicle. Note that there may be a small parking fee, so have some Omani Riyals ready.
-
Public Transportation
For those using public transportation, take a bus from Sur to Tiwi. Buses leave regularly from the Sur bus station and the fare is quite affordable (usually around 1-2 Omani Riyals). Once you arrive in Tiwi, you may need to hire a taxi to reach Wadi Tiwi itself, as it's about a 10-minute drive from the bus stop. Be sure to negotiate the fare with the taxi driver before starting your journey.
-
Walking
If you are adventurous and already in the Tiwi area, you can hike to Wadi Tiwi. From the center of Tiwi, follow the local roads heading towards the mountains. The hike is approximately 1-2 hours depending on your pace and fitness level. Ensure you have enough water and wear suitable footwear, as the terrain can be rocky and uneven.
