Itinerary description

I got a rare opportunity to hike with Ben Robbins and John Young, the co founder of Wadi Bih run.
Later on in the descent section, I guided Ben through an unknown Wadi section down to Wadi Naqab !!!

We did one way hike, Yanas mountain to Tafif summit ascent.
Then descended back to Azabat and took a detour to Wadi Naqab by the steep Wadi.

You will need vehicle management if you want to hike this trail as it is.

Please carry a 20 meter rope for the descent section at the waterfall climb down. (towards Naqab)
There are bolts and loops already installed, the rope has been removed.

Please refer the below wikiloc trail for more pictures, especially for the descent section to Naqab.
