Bimmah sinkhole in Oman

In this video, I'll take you to the Bimmah sinkhole in Oman, not far from Muscat. A lake of turquoise waters, it is 50 m by 70 m wide and approximately 20 m deep. It is only about 600 m away from the sea, between the coastal towns of Ḑibāb and Bamah (Bimmah). The sinkhole was formed by a collapse of the surface layer due to dissolution of the underlying limestone. However, locals used to believe this sinkhole in the shape of a water well was created by a meteorite, hence the Arabic name Hawiyyat Najm which means ‘the deep well of the (falling) star’.Bimmah Sinkhole ranges in depth from only a few centimeters to over 90 meters in the deepest part.
