Itinerary description
Great short circuit to do with kids, with challenging slopes for the young ones; we did it with our 3 years old daughter. This circuit is the ending part of Wadi Salih track, (also very recommendable). I don't have Wadi Salih track, but I joined where is possible to park the car as a starting point for Wadi Salih.
It was done during mid of March when the land was incredibly green and beautiful. The track offers excellent views to the North Jordan valley, it is possible to see the Tiberias Lake or Sea of Galilee; if it is not cloudy, also the snowcapped mountains of Lebanon (depending on season of course). Jebel Al-Husn is a tiny hill with very interesting remains of an Byzantine fortress; to pass down to Pella or Tabaqat Fahl. The way back takes the opposite side of Wadi Al-Hammeh straight to the road and then the starting point.

Very Nice. It is a good trail for the family and kids. Going back is a bit tough. Up hill all the way!

It was a good trail, don’t take beginners or kids with you.
I had one beginner with me and it was struggle for him, but overall it was amazing “try to go early early in the morning or after 1pm”
