The bids are invited for a multidisciplinary engineering consultancy firm to provide comprehensive consultancy services for the development of Wadi Shab as an adventure destination. The project aims to enhance the visitor experience while ensuring safety, operational efficiency, environmental sustainability, structural integrity, and flood resilience.

Omran plans to create an adventure park that includes a zip line, mountain climbing trails, suspension bridges, walking trails, swimming areas for children and adults, restaurants, and cafes.

Wadi Shab is said to be an area rich in biodiversity and geological formations, and offers clear water, caves, and waterfalls.
