Safety notes
- Flash floods: never enter a wadi when rain is forecast anywhere in the catchment, even under a clear sky. Water rises fast and there is often no quick way out.
- Pools can be deep and cold with slippery rock. Wear shoes you can swim in and keep valuables in a dry bag.
- Dress modestly on the approach through villages; swimwear only at the pools themselves.

Cooler months for hiking; pools are swimmable most of the year. Avoid rainy forecasts (flash floods). Khareef (monsoon) turns Dhofar green from roughly late June to early September — its own peak season.
