Tawi Atair (Well of Birds) is a 211 m deep limestone sinkhole on the Dhofar plateau — the largest karst feature in Oman, formed when an underground cavern collapsed. A wooden viewing platform looks down into the green-walled crater. Birds nest in the walls; the bottom is reached only by abseil expeditions. Quick photo stop on the plateau loop.
Getting there from the port
Coach combined with Wadi Darbat on the plateau loop.
