It was quite easy navigating from Muscat to the Bimmah sinkhole, and we got there without a hitch. It took us about two hours, driving from Muscat, and when we got there I realised that it was truly worth it!!
The photographs tell the whole story ... it is both haunting and mysterious indeed. Geologists say this 40 meter wide, 20 meter deep water-hole was created when a limestone cavern collapsed, but the locals say a piece of the moon fell from the sky and made the hole and they call the sinkhole "Bait al Afreet" - "House of the Demon"... The water teems with small fish, no bigger than an adult Guppy, and while swimming in the water, the fish come and nibble on your toes and legs.
This is a definite "yes!!" for another visit in the near future.
