Bimmah Sinkhole, located in the eastern Muscat Governorate of Oman, is a stunning water-filled depression with turquoise waters. Spanning 50 meters by 70 meters and approximately 20 meters deep, this natural wonder was shaped by the collapse of the surface layer caused by the dissolution of limestone below. Interestingly, local beliefs attribute its creation to a meteorite called 'Hawaiyat Najm' or 'The Falling Star' in Arabic, hence its name. To ensure its preservation, the local municipality has developed Hawiyat Najm Park, complete with a stairway leading down to the lake, surrounding this remarkable sinkhole.
