Hawiyat Najm, also known as Dabab Sinkhole, is a natural depression formed by the collapse of a cavern in Muscat, Oman. The sinkhole has a depth of 70 meters and a diameter of 60 meters, with water comprising approximately 70% of the sinkhole.

The name "Hawiyat Najm" translates to "The Well of the Falling Star," attributed to the belief that the sinkhole was created by a meteorite impact centuries ago.

Over time, Hawiyat Najm has become a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors seeking relaxation and swimming opportunities. The authorities have developed a park surrounding the lake, providing various amenities for tourists, including restaurants and resting areas. Additionally, there are steps leading down to the lake for swimmers and divers.

Park Opening Hours: Open daily from 08:00 AM to 08:00 PM.
