Bimmah Sinkhole — Hawiyat Najm ("Falling Star") Park — is a 20 m deep limestone sinkhole filled with turquoise saltwater on the road between Muscat and Wadi Shab. The pool is reachable by a stone staircase from the parking; locals swim there, and tiny fish nibble at toes. A 30-min photo and swim stop on every Wadi Shab tour.
