Itinerary description

A breathtaking hike through a tremendously tall wadi with trees hanging on to the sides.

Moderate difficulty but gets tricker after 2.5km - go as far as your comfortable climbing and being extra water (remember you have to come back the same way).

Small children may only get half way (to the rope ladder)

There is a dry route (at least in April 2022) until 2km where there is a water crossing around waist height - check the waypoint.

Small cave at the back. Mostly shallow with a deep corner at the back left side. Boulder doesn’t appear to be passable without climbing equipment.

    The dry route until the wading is dry in February 2023 and the rope and ladder still in place.

    Beware if you plan to camp at the beginning of the route, water trucks kept coming the whole night.
