Yeti is an area of outstanding beauty with rocky outcrops, greenery, deserted beaches and stunning natural scenery.
Unlike a few years ago, when people used to take one and a half hour to reach Yeti from Ruwi, now Yeti is just 1/2 hour away from Ruwi, thanks to new roads from Bar al Jissah roundabout.

On the way to Yeti, tourists enjoy watching the greenery in Yeti Valley and villages. In the villages, one can see Omani goats roaming around in groups. Most tourists say it is an amazing place. Yeti is the perfect spot for those with a passion for natural beauty, shallow bays and stunning greenery.

Limestone rocks are another attraction at Yeti. The waters are pretty shallow surrounding the rock; one can get up to the rock without really getting wet. People enjoy swimming in the shallow and cool waters of Yeti at certain places.

A tourist from Malaysia who happened to visit Yeti with his family recently said Oman is blessed with some of the most stunning beaches and Yeti is one of them.

Its long sandy beaches with greenery in the background offer good picnic opportunities for families.

In the wake of the June cyclone, beaches and bays in the Yeti were full of water and greenery increased many folds. Some roads which suffered damages were soon reconstructed. While the water has receded to normal levels, the greenery continues to be a magnet for tourists.
