Thanks for your support👍
One of my Beautiful Extreme Trails Alone in Nature!
Extreme Elevation Gain, Distance, among other technical stats..
This Wonderful trail starts at Nabaa El Asal(Honey Spring) in Faraya going all the way to Afqa Grotto Cave then the hardest part of this trail starts from there towards the Mountain Heights of Al Aqoura including Saydet Sehta Church with continuous gain in elevation, touching 2000m with Stunning views and overall amazing atmosphere, although everytime you say the ascents ended another one appears😂, only some 5km from Al Aqoura village real descent starts on the second part of this trail...
The hardness of this trail that after already hiked 20km, the consistent ascents get tougher on the second part, covering at end over 43km total distance!
This trail is more than 2 sections LMT trails of this area..
Advice to fill your whole water need from Nabaa El Asal, as later on no water or clean water on all paths of this trail except one at end, although I searched for some, others had constructions near, not worth the risk.
Only clean water is until the end of this trail at Al Aqoura village as seen in photo.
Would be wise to take thick layers of cloth in this period, temperature was 4°C on average and with wind most of the day, it felt lower especially at Al Aqoura heights.
I underestimated the coldness on this day, took thin layers but managed to finish this hike alive😬😂
You can hike part of this trail according to your hiking level.
Feel free to DM me for any questions..
*Comfortable stay at end of this trail at Al Aqoura in Sisters of the Holy Family(I recommend).
