Despite repeated warnings by the authorities, people are still risking their lives and those of others by crossing wadis.

Medium to heavy rain has been reported in many parts of Oman leading to the overflowing of valleys.

A video doing the rounds on social media shows an Omani man welcoming the flooding Wadi Al Sahtan in Wilayat Al Rustaq.

Many people reacted to the video as a new way to welcome the wadi despite the risk that the man faced, and others said that the timing of the man’s movements showed his experience and knowledge of the flooding.

Royal Oman Police has warned several times how dangerous it can be to venture across flooding gullies.
