MUSCAT : Wadi Tanuf is one of the most famous getaway destinations in Nizwa, Oman, known for its lush greenery reminiscent of a tropical rainforest. It is considered one of the most beautiful tourist places in Nizwa, suitable for spending a fun and distinguished day in the arms of nature.

The presence of numerous “Aflaj”, an irrigation system found in Oman which catches mountain water and controls its movement down man-made subterranean channels, prompted the construction of a water dam in the valley area called Wadi Tanuf Dam. The dam itself is rather beautiful, with a large number of beautiful trees and rare plants where one can, more often than not, spot wild animals, or relax under the shade of substantial perennial trees and hear the sounds of water flowing between the streams and aflaj of the valley along with the beautiful sound of birds singing.
