    Nestled in the Khor Fakkan mountains, the Wadi Shis heritage and recreational development invites visitors to explore a traditional way of life with the help of contemporary interpretation and modern facilities.

    A new highway and rest station accompany a newly activated wadi with controlled water retention, allowing visitors to kayak through an unfolding wadi landscape opening out to a dramatic reservoir. Use of local materials and building techniques preserve and enhance the historic local vernacular, creating a respectful and sensitive resort setting.
