Itinerary description

The hike is located in Makkah Taif area, in a region called Hada, AlKarr.
The starting point is accessible by car, and there is room for parking spots just under a bridge, on the right handside.

This is an easy to moderate hike with lovely landscapes.

The hike starts with an ascent made out of natural stairs for about 1km.
Halfway through, the trail nature changes, where small rocks appear.
The natural rock stairs return for the remaining of the track.

You can make a small detour to check out the small water chutes.

Lovely landscapes are witnessed all over the road, and mainly at the top.

I definitely recommend doing the hike during Saudi winters, and during the afternoon to catch the sunset on your way down.
