Itinerary description
This hike is actually beginner plus grade hike, but can be moderate in peak summer.
Near Harf Ghabi village, there is a old settlement of village (ruins ), 2 ancient mosques and a large graveyard.
this area is situated on the rocky beach and there is a damaged offroad leading to it from the main Khasab road.
An all terrain vehicle will make it to the beach, but it could be challenging for regular SUV or 4X4 vehicle and also depends on driving skills.
If you are 4x4 offroading, simply follow this trail in reverse.
We walked to this area.
You enter the gate from here.

The AWD SUVs can go until the start point of this recording.
The hike starts with full descent to the beach and you can spend a good time here, please mind the rocks in the beach in case you choose to swim.
Apparently this is also a popular diving place.
Return will be completely ascent with good views, its a short hike but you will enjoy it.
Please take proper precautions for a wild hike such as water, shoes, clothing, shades and nutrition.
