Ministry warns people to exercise caution around water bodies in Oman

Muscat: The Ministry of Tourism has warned people to be careful around water bodies during the current season.

With the start of the holidays, people in Oman usually head out to the wadis or the sea. As a result, ministry officials have asked them to be especially careful around deep water bodies and places that have strong currents as they could be potentially dangerous.

"Oman has some of the world’s most stunning beaches and beautiful wadis, but the beauty can be deceptively dangerous. Even if you are a good swimmer, for your own safety, be very careful around deep water and strong currents," the ministry announced on Thursday.
