Bimmah Sinkhole, Natural pool in Muscat region, Oman
The Bimmah sinkhole creates a natural basin measuring 50 by 70 meters filled with clear turquoise water reaching depths of 20 meters.
This geological formation emerged through natural erosion processes when the upper limestone layer collapsed due to water dissolution over thousands of years.
The local name Hawiyyat Najm translates to 'deep well of the falling star', reflecting regional beliefs about its meteoric origins.
Located 113 kilometers from Muscat on the coastal road to Sur, this free-access site includes picnic facilities and restrooms.
Small fish inhabit the crystal-clear waters, offering swimmers an unexpected natural interaction during their pool experience.
