Itinerary description

Wadi Bih secret staircase hike is an easy but long hike that mostly involves walking through gorgeous Wadi Bih on Oman side. Total distance around 30 km. We took a truck ride on the way back to safe time.
The hike through staircases up to the settlement is very short and relatively easy. The lonely tricky part is to spot the staircases. They will be on your right-hand side and start next to a little stone house built at the bottom of the mountain.

    Hello, Ausra.
    Excuse me, but that wadi that you have hiked is not the Wadi Bih. It is the Wadi Khabb Shamsi, which flows for a long stretch parallel to the coast, passing west of Zighy, and finally emptying into Dibba al Bayah.
    There are many people who confuse Wadi Khabb Shamsi with Wadi Bih, but they have nothing to do with each other.

    Greetings
