Itinerary description

The recording looks a bit strange. Probably because most of the time I was in the (dry) riverbed which had ~100 m high walls. There was almost no mobile phone reception.
There are various points where one could hike up the sides of the Wadi on unmarked trails used by the local shepherds.

For example the goats I encountered were looked after by a boy who looked 10 years old.
He had a donkey and a dog with him and he asked for cigarettes.

An Nabī Mūsá - The Prophet Moses is a few km away from the bridge, in case you'd want to visit.

There is a much shorter version of this hike when you turn back from the green-black intersection to return on black and then on the blue path.

Waypoints

There are only a few people at 8 am.

Roadsign

Originally planned to hike up the blue trail and come down the green, but after seeing this sign I changed my mind. It was a good decision as it is a lot less frightening to climb up the "ladder" than to climbed down.

The 'ladder' to climb up

It was scary, but it would have been a lot scarier to climb down.

Narrow path

Intersection - black and green paths

Here one could turn to the right and go back on the black and later the blue paths. (As I did at the end of this hike.)
