About this trail
A stunning green valley cutting through the Al Hajar mountains with terraced farms, palm groves, and crystal clear pools. Less crowded than Wadi Shab — feels wilder and more remote.
The drive up the wadi itself is an experience — a narrow road winds past ancient villages and small waterfalls.
