Wadi Al Hoqain in the Wilayat of Al Rustaq is one of the most renowned and popular wonderful wadis in the sultanate. The wadi is located in the Niyabat of Al Hoqain that is one of the major tourist destinations in the wilayat. The wadi is distinguished with its springs and year-round flowing water with deep and cool pools as well as small waterfalls. It is quite safe to swim in the water when the flow is slow. The wadi is around 160km from the capital Muscat and located about 50km at the west of the centre of the Wilayat of Al Rustaq. There are a number of stream crossings and the area is great for off-roading enthusiasts.
