This will be an early morning to afternoon hike, where the team will start from the bottom of a wadi(River bed) and make their way through the winding trail, explore some amazing rock features and canyon walls along the way. It is a same way in and out hike, where we return using same trail. First half of the hike is a relatively easy wadi walk but the other half to the Sheri village is a challenging ascent using the steep village trail.
