So, you've been bouncing across the sands of Wahiba, little grains lodged in every nook and cranny and the skin on your face stretched by the sun ... where do you want to be? Well, the short answer is Wadi Bani Khalid - only a 45 minute drive away from the last of the dunes, a little wonderland that couldn't be more different ...
So, you get a beautiful swim in the cool water (almost chilly in fact!), shared with the water reeds and fish, and to top it off clouds of multi-coloured dragonflies - apparently a sign of a healthy eco-system, but also so so magical ...

| Shallow pools with baby fish ... |

| Ah, the bliss of it ... |
Wow, who'd have thought that would be hiding in the desert?! One of the best Wadi's you've shown us so far I think.
