For a slower-paced activity, visitors can enjoy a trek on one of the many hiking trails around the bay, or some of the more challenging paths over the mountain towards Wadi al Khamsi.

Water lovers rejoice: Zighy Bay is home to spectacular coral reefs, rock formations, tropical fish and other underwater life for visitors to take in with their own eyes. Join a dive excursion or simply grab some snorkels and a mask - and don’t forget an underwater camera!
