The experience of Wadi Shab is not to be missed - a great day out. Doing it as a private tour through Viator was a mistake though as the cost was totally over the top for the 2 of us. Our fault this as we arranged things very last minute.
Health and safety is never mentioned before or during the trip but be aware you need to be a reasonably capable swimmer to do the full trip into the cave at the end. En-route rocks can be very slippery but with care it is a great experience. The dress code does not seem to be as strictly adhered to as we were led to believe and was very relaxed. The wadi is well worth seeing even if you don't do the swim.
Bimmah Sinkhole was worth seeing and with more time would have been worth a swim.
The lunch included in our package was very basic as were the refreshments provided on our journey - 4 dates, a paper cup of coffee/tea from a roadside vendor and bottled water.
